Alternate: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

Alternity: 
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead



While watching this play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead written by Tom Stoppard I was very confused while watching it.  This play is also based off of Hamlet and I think the point of this play was to have a confusing story line because from the beginning both Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were flipping a coin and then they would argue and that is were the confusion began just from the very start of the play. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead show events from Hamlet with the point of view from two minor characters, Rosencrantz and Guildestern. Both characters can not control their destiny in this play and that is were the storyline becomes more confusing especially as the story continues on. Both characters walk through the Elsinore Castle and then meet up with Hamlet and visit with him and this is where the events occur from Hamlet. Rosencrantz and Guildestern both can not control the events that take place and their destiny is uncontrollable at this point and through out the whole story. Like in the story of Hamlet  they are dead and both are basically finished books. Neither Rosencrantz nor Guildestern have any more chances and dead is different from being alive, they both re-live what they have already experienced through out both of their lives.
