In Scene One of Act V, the presence of the gravedigger provides a moment of clarity regarding Hamlet's age, as he reveals that Hamlet is likely in his thirties, having been a child when Yorick, the jester, died. The gravedigger's casual remarks about Hamlet's childhood contrast with the weighty themes of mortality and legacy that permeate the scene, highlighting Hamlet's transition from youth to adulthood. However, the ambiguity surrounding Hamlet's maturity and the existential dilemmas he faces can still leave audiences questioning the depth of his experience and understanding, thus adding a layer of confusion to his age’s implications.
