Hamlet asks the grave-diggers a series of questions and realizes that they are burying Ophelia's body at the Christian Burial. |
|
| Whose grave is this sirrah? Who is to be buried in it? | |
|
| It belongs to me, me and my pal are grave-diggers. We have orders to bury a woman, rest her soul, she's dead. | |
|
|
|
|
The grave-digger mentions Yorick, Old Hamlets servants' body that has been buried for twenty years. |
|
| Ah, how long before the body rots? | |
|
| Uhm, sometimes eight or nine years. But look at this skull, he's been lying in the earth for twenty years. This is Yorick's skull! | |
|
|
|
|
Hamlet mourns for Yoricks death, showing sadness. |
|
| Yorick! I knew that guy Horatio-he hath bore me on his back a thousand times and now how abhorred in my imagination it is! | |
|
| Yes, he was a good fellow. Oh look, here comes the King and Queen and courties | |
