Rosencrantz first post
Even though this story is told in the same sort of lingo as hamlet i find it much easier to understand. I think it might have something to do with how dramatic Hamlet is. The story starts off in a coin toss game which develops into a deep conversation which was based off the chance in the game. They then talk to some actors, one of which stands out to the men due to the fact that he plays a woman in plays.
Now a man playing a woman is always related to one type of play and that is Shakespearean. Odd that a postmodern story would be written in a shakespearean style. I also notice that you are expected to know the story of Hamlet as you read this book. This is an odd concept for an author to do this with another author’s work. I really saw the different personalities of rosencrantz and Guilderstern in this reading and i expect that i will continue to see that throughout the book.
