The graveyard scene is a crucial moment for Hamlet - his ideas and opinions when it comes to death become more prominent and he soon decides what he is going to do about his revenge against his uncle.

During the graveyard scene, we see Hamlet holding his former court jester's, Yorick's, skull. Hamlet is thinking about life and death, contemplating how it is strange that he used to know this man while he was still alive, and that now he is gone, turned to dust.

He is also thinking about many celebrated people, such as Caesar or Alexander the Great, arriving at the conclusion that regardless of how famous and accomplished you are, you are still surely going to die and turn to dust, like his former friend, Yorick did. He used to be very torn about whether he should commit suicide or kill his uncle, and this is the exact moment where he makes his decision after realizing that life is futile and that he has to make a move.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
