Consequently, there are a few instances in which death is treated as an inevitable and inescapable rite of life, and that it should be accepted and embraced. This is mostly seen in the earlier acts, such as Claudius’ speech in which he declared “Yet so far hath discretion fought with nature,” (1.2.5) which suggests his nonchalant and matter-of-fact tone of saying that life will still move on despite the late king’s recent death.
