Biography
The Gravedigger, or First Clown, as the Folio refers to him, is perhaps Hamlet's only true intellectual equal in the play. No, seriously: Hamlet's conversation with the sexton he comes across digging a grave for Ophelia in the castle churchyard is the only one in the play in which he does not maintain the definitive upper hand he whole time and instead finds himself playing Straight Man to an even more accomplished wise person. But before Hamlet enters the scene, the Gravedigger and his subordinate discuss the implications and definition of suicide with more earnest practicality than anyone else in the play has displayed. There are no illusions shrouding death here.
