In the Hamlet skull scene, Yorick's skull is held by Hamlet while he muses on his own vanity.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Vanity of life:

The audience is reminded of the futility of human life by Yorick's skull. The futility of Yorick the court jester's life is portrayed by Hamlet holding the skull in his hand. He once astounded the court with his brilliance, but today he lies in a lone graveyard beside those who lack his intellectual prowess. Is it necessary to put more effort into one's life if it only results in death?

The symbolism of life and death:

It is not novel to discuss Yorick's skull's symbolic value. Shakespeare employed such dramatic techniques to extract the text's symbolic meaning. Similar to the Macbeth dagger and the Hamlet skull. In the Hamlet skull scene, Yorick's skull represents death, the final destination of life. The skull that Hamlet is carrying alludes to the contrast between life and death. Hamlet represents life, and the skull in his hand represents death. Only a hand's width separates them!
