#1) What function does the scene with the First Clown serve? Select all that apply.
The answer is d. thematic. Many major and important themes of the play are discussed and brought up by the Gravediggers in the short time they are on stage. The manner in which these themes are presented, however, is notably different from the rest of the play. While the rest of the play is set solely in the fictional world of Hamlet's Denmark, this scene helps makes sense of the themes by simultaneously bringing the focus to the audience's world. "By using recognizable references from contemporary times, the clown can, through the use of the oral tradition, make the audience understand the theme being played out by the court-dominated characters in the play."
