I started to understand this reading a lot more after the second reading. Also, having Mrs. Duke’s brother come act out a scene helped me understand the comedy view of the play. I interpret this book in a different way now. We see R & G in act 4 of Hamlet, being the King’s little “spies”. In Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, the two seem to ramble on about the most random stuff. I finally understand that this book is just to show us what they are doing when they aren’t spying on Hamlet. We get to see the play through a different perspective. Rosencrantz is the one who is kind of oblivious to things, and believes anything. I think that he is the kind of person who will do anything. Guildenstern is the over thinker. He is smarter than Rosencrantz and thinks things through before he does anything. But, in “Hamlet”, Hamlet basically said that over thinking messes with reality and fate. So, maybe that could be some sort of foreshadowing that will lead to R &G’s death….

uh ohhh I just made a connection….
