Question

read the passage from act v of hamlet.
hamlet: let me see.—takes the skull.—alas! poor yorick. i knew him, horatio; a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy; he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rises at it. here hung those lips that i have kissed i know not how oft.
the main topic of the passage is
anatomy.
death.
humor.
infatuation.

Explanation:

Hamlet is reflecting on the skull of Yorick, a former court jester. He remembers Yorick's lively and humorous nature (fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy) but now is faced with the reality of his death. The mention of the skull and the contrast between Yorick's past life and current state emphasizes the theme of death. There is no focus on anatomy (study of body structure), humor (though Yorick was humorous, the passage is more about his death), or infatuation (excessive love or admiration).

Answer:

death.
