The orchard, which is a microcosm of the Garden of Eden, is symbolic of the story of Adam and Eve, where, the malicious snake, (Claudius) manages to influence Eve, (Gertrude) and kills Adam ( one-time(a) Hamlet), which builds up tension in the atmosphere.

The use of syntax conveys that Old Hamlet finds his life and crown more evidential to him than his queen. Natural imagery is explored when describing Old Hamlets blossom of [his] sins.
