Answer:

Death reduces everyone, even Kings, to worm foods

Explanation:

Hamlet is saying that a man may fish with the worm that eats a king and then, eat the fish that has fed of the worm.

This is to say that death can reduce everyone.

From the excerpt, Hamlet said a king can be reduced to food for worms, and the worms in turn are used to feed a fish, the fish can then be food to a common man. This is to show that no matter how powerful a person is, he can still be reduced to nothing.
