Discuss the image of Death in "Hamlet"

Hamlet is a tragedy, so we know that the main characters die. Their deaths are in some way related to a flaw in the protagonist, in this case Hamlet. To Hamlet, death is always just around the corner: an existential certainty. Hamlet muses about death through the whole play. What happens after death? Is it worse than the tlings and arrows of outrageous fortune we put up with in life? By the ending of the play, Hamlet has settled that is time is near...There is a special providence in the fall of a sparrow....Hamlet finally ends the play with this famous line just before he dies...the rest is silence.
