Who is the last person in the Hamlet play to speak?

There are more people than one alive at the end of the play. Fortinbras is still alive, since he delivers the last line. Horatio is usually also still alive (except in one production where Fortinbras had him shot). The English Ambassador (and other ambassadors if any) is still alive. Osric is usually still alive (but not in the Kenneth Branagh film). And of course there are all kinds of characters who are alive offstage--we usually count Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's offstage death, so why not them?


What kind of mail has Horatio received unexpectedly from hamlet?

Horatio received a letter from Hamlet that was unexpected because it revealed that Hamlet was alive after being presumed dead. The letter detailed Hamlet's return to Denmark and his experiences during his time away. It also contained requests for Horatio to meet him and indicated that significant events were about to unfold. This correspondence signified a pivotal moment in the story, signaling Hamlet's intentions and the unfolding of the plot.


What is the subject of Hamlet's speech when he holds the skull of Yorick?

The speech reflects upon life and death. How something that was once alive (the court jester) and whom Hamlet had spent much time with is now lifeless and a rotting corpse.
