The scene with the gravediggers illustrates the play’s broader theme of mortality. In the first part of the scene, two gravediggers discuss the burial of people who have taken their own lives and how the Christian system is flawed in disallowing suicide. Hamlet and Horatio then look at the remains of the many dead bodies and reflect on the certainty of death for all people. In death, we are all the same. For example, a woman may go to great ends to beautify herself in life, but her remains after death may look like any ordinary person’s remains. Hamlet and Horatio also discuss how a person's greatness ceases to matter when he or she dies. Hamlet refers to Alexander the Great being buried and becoming one with the sand.
Yorick’s skull acts as a symbol of death. With the skull in his hand, Hamlet reminisces about the time he spent with Yorick. Now, in death, Yorick is nothing more than a pile of bones, with no wit, humor, or intelligence. Earlier in the play, Hamlet spent much time mulling over death and wondering what came after death. Yorick’s skull answers that question for Hamlet.
The skull and the graveyard directly contrast with the life Hamlet led in the castle. In Elsinore, Hamlet’s mother and Claudius tried to make him forget about his father's death. In the graveyard, he has the freedom to contemplate death.
It would be to define the essay's purpose.
People don’t need empathy, if the person wants to be more empathic, I think it showcases the person and shows how they could understand someone’s feeling especially in a cyber world of 2021 where almost everyone is either dying or killing them selves in other vices, if more people develop these feeling they can make the people around them feel better and see that more emotions need to be felt than just assumptions and judging someone at first glance. People could bring emotions back into an online society of text and lol’s in which everyone is a walking robot. In the short answer none of anything matters and everyone will die, so all these feelings are useless unless people and society want to care about others and start treating people more kindly and more respectful manner than a cut throat be kill or die trying attitude.
