In the graveyard scene of Shakespeare's "Hamlet," the title character speaks to the skull of Yorick, the former court jester. Hamlet reminisces about Yorick's playful nature and their past interactions, reflecting on themes of mortality and the inevitability of death. This moment serves as a poignant turning point for Hamlet, deepening his contemplation of life, death, and the futility of existence.
Hamlet is referring to his real father, who is dead, not his step-father. He means that his mother has insulted the memory of her late husband, the deceased king, by marrying Hamlet's uncle soon after the late king's death.
