Question

ead the passage from act v of hamlet.
hamlet: let me see. — takes the skull. — alas! poor
orick. i knew him, horatio; a fellow of infinite jest, of
ost excellent fancy; he hath borne me on his back a
ousand times; and now, how abhorred in my
agination it is! my gorge rises at it. here hung those
ps that i have kissed i know not how oft. where be your
bes now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of
nerriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? not
e now, to mock your own grinning?

Explanation:

Hamlet's speech focuses on the skull of Yorick, a jester who was once full of life (songs, gambols, etc.). Now, Yorick is dead, and his physical form (the skull) is all that remains. This shows that death has overcome Yorick's lively existence. There is no mention of revenge, truth - discernment, or contradiction of curiosity in this passage. The main idea is about the finality of death as it has taken away Yorick's former self.

Answer:

develop the theme "death conquers all."
