What does the gravedigger find when digging ophelias grave?

When the gravedigger is digging Ophelia's grave in Shakespeare's "Hamlet," he discovers a skull, which prompts a reflection on mortality and the inevitability of death. The skull, identified as Yorick's, serves as a poignant reminder of the lives that have passed and the fate that awaits all. This moment underscores the play's themes of death and the transient nature of life, as well as Hamlet's contemplation of existence and the futility of human endeavors.

Is the climax of Hamlet is generally considered to occur when Hamlet does not take the opportunity to kill the praying Claudius?

No I was not. According to the text, killing someone while they are free of sin(like while praying) will allow them to skip purgatory and go straight to heaven. Hamlet Senior (the ghost) did not have this chance to pray before being killed. Because of this, he is stuck in purgatory. Hamlet wants Claudius to have the same result has Hamlet Senior had. The ironic thing about this scene is that after Hamlet leaves, Claudius says that he unable to truly confess his sins; therefore, if Hamlet would have killed him, Claudius still would have gone to purgatory.
