What is Hamlet's feeling about death?

Hamlet's feeling of death is a well developed theme in the play. Hamlet starts off talking about death even though he is not familiar with it. As the play develops, Hamlet starts being more acquainted with this theme. Many parts of the play are good reference points to how acquainted with death he is (ie. "The to be or not to be..." soliloquy). Another important area in the play is where Hamlet talks about the skulls that the gravedigger diggs up, by this point he is now familiar with death and understands it. The theme reaches its climax in the final scene before he fights Laertes; Hoartio asks Hamlet not to fight, but Hamlet says it is his time to die. Hamlet has prepared for his death and is ready to fight.
