Last R&G reading
The end of this book was predictable but interesting all the same. As the title of the book is Rosencrantz and Guilderstern are dead, it was pretty obvious they would die by the end of the book. But how the death came about was quite interesting. Hamlet overheard R&G reading a letter to the king which made hamlet change his letter which re did the outcome of the book single handedly. Not to mention killed R&G. There was also a ton of foreshadowing of their deaths all the way to the end, such as pg. 121 Guil: “England! That’s a dead end. I never believed in it that way”.
The foreshadowing of life and death throughout the book, and the way R&G talked about it made it pretty clear to me that they would die but that didnt answer all of my questions. Who poisoned the queen? I got the impression it was Hamlet but i dont understand that… Of course since Rosencrantz, Guilderstern, The queen, the kind, Laertes, and hamlet are all dead at the end maybe it is fitting. The end of this book was definitely interesting and im looking forward to talking about it in class.
