Description
In Hamlet, Yorick is the jester of Hamlet's father. Hamlet finds Yorick's skull while walking through the cemetery with his friend Horatio, who is digging Ophelia's grave. When Hamlet sees Yorick's skull, he remembers how funny Yorick was and how he rode piggyback on Yorick's back a thousand times. He says, "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy." The quote is a reminder that death comes to everyone, even the most beloved. It is also a reminder that life is short and we should make the most of it.
