Act V Scene I
I think this scene depicts the two sides of people. Hamlet describes Yorick as "a fellow of infinite jest," however, Yorick is now a corpse (no more jest, not infinite). Also, he realizes that death is imminent for everyone. Earlier in the story he hesitated to kill Claudius and himself because he was afraid of death, but after finding Yorick's skull, he sees death as inevitable. He also describes passionate feelings for Ophellia which werent shown while she was still alive. But now it is too late.
