WOW, finally I start seeing how this book is really related to Hamlet, in these pages Ros and Guil have a conversation that is pretty much the exact one that is in Hamlet in Act 2. When i wrote the blog about the first 35 pages i didnt see anything about Hamlet at all and finally i can see clearer now the rain is gone. I can also see a hug difference in Rosencrantz from te firs reading. In the first reading he was a calm and collective young man, but in the second reading he like turned stupid.

Back to all the mood swings in the second reading, I think that the swings were an atempt to cheer Hamlet up. Remember that after all one of the main reasons for there hire was to cheer Hamlet up, and I think they are doing a great job at it.

The first think that pops in my mind about this is the fact that we were told that Rosencrantz and Guilderstern is connected to the book Hamlet, but for some reason in the first 35 pages you do not hear from or even hear about him. One of the main characters named Guilderstern is crazy in my mind, something is wrong with his head. In one part he talks about colors and that blue, red and green are the real colors and that yellow is just a mystical experience shared by everyone. This man is truely mentally retarded.

I dont really understand the whole gambling thing throughtout the first 35 pages, guilderstern and rosencrantz a playing a coin game gambling on weather or not it is heads or tails? i dont get why somone would want to do that, and why would you not stop after loosing like 20 times in a row?
