I'm kind of enjoying Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, too. I think the word play and interaction among the different characters is funny. However, I'm not really seeing a deeper meaning in this work. Maybe the point is that there is no deeper meaning? Maybe the author is just poking fun at/commenting on Shakespeare's play. Who knows. Ms. Holmes said that she's going to step back and let us do the interpreting, but if that seriously happens I doubt I'll get very far in analyzing this play.

Response to Course Material 2/10
Since the last response, we've basically watched another movie of Hamlet and have been reading Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead ever since. First off, I thought the concept of everyone being a heroine addict in Hamlet was very interesting. The acting and directing could have been much better, but the idea was cool.

I totally agree! When Ms. Holmes said she was going to let us interpret I was really unsure of how that was going to go. But after hearing other people's opinions, it helped me form my own. I thought the heroine Hamlet was really weird. I would've liked to see the whole movie though. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteWHAT UP GIRL!
ReplyDeleteWhat is this about Hamlet being a heroine addict?! Wait actually don't tell me. I don't need yet another interpretation, my head will probably explode if I cram more Hamlet in there.
I think the deeper meaning of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern is somewhere in there. There has to be one. Stuff with no meaning does not find itself on the AP reading list unfortunately. It I had to throw out a guess I'd say that it's the uncertainty of life. And if that's not deep I don't know what is.
