Well, I saw that one coming…

BUT, there’s a few things I’m confused about, or I just interpreted wrong. I was really surprised when Guildenstern freaked out on Rosencrantz and his emotions ran wild. I saw that as foreshadowing. You can really see how the drama is beginning to take a toll on everyone’s actions. The whole cast seems to be in a state of chaos, paranoia, and pandemonium.  I see a dramatic shift in emotion throughout this act in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, it comes off in a serious emotion as I read it. We see the breakdown of Guildenstern whenever he flips his lid and really starts to become anxious. The two different texts are starting to seem more and more alike. R&G at first was light hearted and not so intense. But, I guess you could say that it is still pretty light hearted compared to Hamlet, but it’s definitely changed a bit. We know that Ros and Guil are going to die from the moment we received the book, I mean HELLO, can it be more obvious… its in the title! Along with that, we’ve had some themes that hint us, or foreshadow the deaths. Like you said, in order to move on in the story, PEOPLE MUST DIE! That may not be exactly what you said, but its something like that. The book starts off with Ros and Guil flipping coins, messing with probability, saying that they are in a parallel universe. HAHA, funny, because by the end of the book, they actually are. That was probably a main hint, I mean besides the title and all. But, its like every time they got a free moment, all they would talk about was life and death. It only made it more obvious to the reader. Also, whenever they go to England instead of Hamlet, you know that they were gonna be killed. When I read that, I had that eerie orchestra music playing in my head, like DUN, DUN DUNNNNNNNN. Well, they had to be cut out of the picture some how.
