In some respects, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead is a play about nothing—I mean, we all already read Hamlet and we all know what happens to Rosencrantz & Guildenstern, so really what could this play be about?
This play could be mostly about Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's life while they weren't in the castle dealing with all the problems that were occurring. I think that it's going to be mainly about them portraying regular scholars and how they live their life goofing off and being the best friends that they happen to be. I am also starting to think that someparts are going to relate back to the parts that were in the play Hamlet. Everything has to make sense in between the acts in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern ar dead, because your supposed to read Hamlet the play first in order for you to follow this new play of small characters not including Hamlet.
So, really, what is this play all about?
So far now, while reading Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, everything is starting to make a little more sense, since they are trying to act out a play while being in a play. Which basically means that this book is all about a play trying to portray another play inside a play, I think? Well my point being that it was sort of what I had predicted before. I knew there was going to be many inside jokes on how the play Hamlet connected to Rosencrantz and Guildenster are Dead, since they were small parts in Hamlet. Now, I understand the book and try to pay attention to the small details that make sense when you try to connect them and say, hey, isnt that why in the play Hamlet......
