Hamlet is a play; therefore, that last scene can be played in many different ways. Osric could have died at the end, or he could have became one of Fortinbras' servants.

Are you talking about the "Hamlet"? It's Osric. read Act5 Scene2, when Hamlet is talking to Horatio aside.
Osric is a parvenu, a newcomer, having new money but no old manners. He can talk like a courtier for a short while, but his courtly talk is not from his native wit and he can be quickly baffled. Hamlet makes fun of him by suggesting that he should put on his hat, then take it off, then put it on. This can be quite funny in performance if done right, but it is still rather mean to poor old Osric. The scene reinforces our understanding of Hamlet as a snob.
No. Fortinbras sure doesn't. The English Ambassadors don't. Some productions kill off such characters as Osric and Horatio but the script doesn't require it.
The purpose of the Osric scene in Hamlet is to further highlight the theme of deceit and manipulation in the play. Osric is a character who represents the superficial and courtly manners of the corrupt society in the play, serving as a contrast to Hamlet's introspective and genuine nature. By engaging with Osric, Hamlet demonstrates his intelligence and wit, while also showcasing the absurdity of the courtly world he is surrounded by.

Osric of Northumbria died in 729.
Plotwise, he's sent to get Hamlet to fence with Laertes. Hamlet teases him somewhat cruelly. There's no particular thematic link.

Romeo and Juliet Hamlet has everyone die at the end
Osric makes use of flowery and effusive language. Hamlet mocks him by being even more flowery and effusive. "Sir, his definement suffers no perdition in you, though I know that to divide him inventorially would dozy the arithmetic of memory, and yet but yaw in respect of his quick sail. But in the verity of extolment, I take him to be a soul of great article, and his infusion of such dearth and rareness as, to make true diction of him, his semblable in his mirror, and who else would trace him, his umbrage, nothing more." This is gobbledegook but Osric doesn't see it and agrees heartily. Hamlet then goes on, in the same style "The concernancy, sir? Why do we wrap the gentleman in our more rawer breath?" which really means "What about Laertes?", but Osric is baffled and confused and doesn't know how to answer, despite the fact that his main purpose in being there is to explain about the proposed fencing match.
