It's pretty appropriate that it's these two scenes. One is the beginning of Hamlet's murder plot, and the other is its messy conclusion. In both, Horatio is entrusted with an important task. Hamlet, at the very end, is thinking about how he'll be remembered as he asks Horatio to tell his story. Hamlet himself has been telling the story of his father throughout the play in reverential tones of a great man, but, in contrast, his last memory is him as the vengeful ghost leading Hamlet to his doom. Hamlet desperately wants resolution, but he's already aware that not even death is the end. After an entire play of plotting and planning and thinking too precisely on the event, the conclusion comes down to accidents and rash actions. After all the major characters have died, and where you'd expect curtains, suddenly a new character comes in with information we already knew, about two inconsequential characters. Life moves on. Fortinbras decides to honour Hamlet as a soldier, because he doesn't know him. Hamlet's desire for meaning is defied.
