Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead

  • No sense of:
    • purpose - what are their duties?
    • identity - which one is which?
    • direction - physical direction
    • direction - destination
    • Logic
    • The bigger picture
    • meaning
    • Time (there is only the present)
    • linguistic intergrity
    • outcome
    • social protocol (awkward)
    • knowing
    • self
  • Post-modern
    • reality is a fictional construct
  • Boat=lack of free will
  • Even the murder Guildenstern attempts come to nothing
  • R&G have lost their scripts
  • Themes
    • In comprehensibility of the world
  • Gives voice to the marginalized
