The significance of the graveyard scenes is effectively portrayed through the clowns lower class status and Hamlet's metaphorically holding of the skull.  We see that language of the clowns are in prose and not in iambic pentameter and we see that their prose is not highly sophisticated.  Also when Hamlet holds the skull we see his metaphoric death and its a foreshadow of when his mom dies right in front of him.  We also see that the words loose and fishmonger are significant in the way that Hamlet describes Polonious with the word loose meaning the control of his daughter of when he will let her go and unleash her to Hamlet.  We see also that the word fishmonger accurately describes Polonius as Hamlet states it in a very distraught and cynical way.  We can see Hamlets hatred for Plonius.  The passage of "Do it, England" We see that Claudius is only worried about himself.  We see that the importance of being selfish is what Claudius prides himself on unknowingly.  The danger that Claudius was put himself into,subconsciously hes become selfish in order to protect his name. In times of trouble he is only looking to save himself and is not becoming a leader.  The passage between 805-810, we See that Caudius again is being selfish in that he is manipulating poor Laertes.  This manipulation leads into Claudius master plan to kill Hamlet and get him out of the way.  We see that Claudius is an instigator.  Lastly, we see in the passage 826-830 that everything comes to an end and we have a sad ending.  Laertes confesses to Hamlet and we ultimately see the tables turn as Laertes and Hamlet team up against Claudius.  We also see that the poor Gertrude drinks the poison and we are unaware of its significance?  Did Gertrude commit the sin above all, suicide?
