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.
Answer:
Grant political asylum
This is in response to the news titled “Rizal yet to get travel documents” dated March 17. It is unfortunate that Tek Nath Rizal, known as the father of the Bhutanese democracy movement, could not go to Geneva to attend the UN Commission for Human Rights meeting as the Nepal government could not provide him with necessary travel documents. He and two other Bhutanese human rights activists were invited by Lutheran World Federation. Nepal has not granted him political asylum till date for which he had applied in October last year. It sounds mysterious why Nepal deliberately fails to do so if it sincerely wants to solve the long protracted crisis. Granting Rizal the refugee status and travel document would not add any extra burden for Nepal, rather it would unleash Nepal from the burden of raising their concerns in the international arena. Who else could present the concerns and problems of the refugees better than Rizal?
When a sentence uses the active voice, the subject of the
sentence performs the verb as in the following sentence:
The boy kicked the ball.
Here we see that the boy is performing the action of
kicking.
When the subject of the sentence has the action performed to
it, then, that is what is called the passive as in the following sentence:
The ball was kicked by the boy.
Here we see that the subject, the ball, was receiving the
action/verb of being kicked.
