'Hamlet', one of William Shakespeare's longest and most beautiful literary works. Hamlets focuses on characteristics such as sadness, madness, madness, morbidity, and mortality. While many scenes depict many, if not more than one of these characteristics, Act 5 Scene 1 is notoriously known for displaying all five of these characteristics in just a few paragraphs. With Shakespeare's writing technique, imagery, repetition, and metaphors expressed in this scene, it allows the reader to receive a clear picture of what is going through Hamlet's mind. In Act 5, scene 1, Shakespeare uses imagery to express what Hamlet is thinking at the time. moment. When Hamlet begins the argument with the gravedigger, he is presented with someone's skull. He also brought Hamlet back to reality with Ophelia's death, as he resumes the argument with Yorick's skull, he jokingly says "Now take you to my lady's chamber and say to her, let her paint." an inch thick, to this favor must come. Make her laugh." (170) revealing how one wastes so much time putting makeup on one's face, to mask the inevitable aging process; and how one's destiny lies in the very terrain we stand on right now, no matter how great. To further his terms with Ophelia's death, he is shown the place where Ophelia will be buried, a few lots away Proving that her death is and will be treated just like everyone else will he says to Hamlet much earlier in the play ""not forever with their veiled eyelids / Seek thy noble father in the dust" (1.2.70-71) and remember that "thy father has lost a father" in other words there is not the time to mourn the dead, since death is very similar to a chain, and in simple terms expresses the best to just move on. Shakespeare reveals this as a turning point for Hamlet, as he realizes the commonality of death, and the value of life itself, and begins to reflect on his own mortality and destined fate. Although he has a rather morbid view on the matter, he reveals the truth to Hamlet and forces Hamlet to take a more humorous toll on the matter.
