R and G are dead

Summary- Nothing really spectacular happens they are summoned to help hamlet and in the beginning they keep getting heads when they flip a coin. they run into a roaming group of actors on the way and have  a weird encounter. Suddenly they are at Hamlets castle talking to the king and queen about hamlet. they try to talk to him but they really get nowhere. In the end they find Hamlet once he has killed Palonius but they don't actually help. Then they get sent with Hamlet to England and then find some of the actors inside a barrel. They have instructions to tell the king of England to kill Hamlet but Hamlet finds out and switches the letter with a different one that tells him to kill Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. After that they are attacked by pirates and Hamlet escapes. Then they end up dead in the same spot as the actors were.

Characters-
Ros.- Care free light, light hearted.always getting his name confused. He is a friend of Hamlet and trying to figure out whats wrong with him.
Guild.- meaner always yelling at Ros. He is a friend of Hamlet's too and helping Ros. figure out whats wrong with Hamlet.
Player- God figure. Always seems to know more then he is letting on. He likes to please others.
Hamlet- acting strange because of his fathers reappearance. They were asked to help him by the king and queen.

Symbols-
Coin- I thought that the coin might symbolize that everything is predetermined throughout the play. Kind of that they are trapped in the play.

Important Quotes- "A man talking sense to himself is no madder then a man talking Nonsense not to himself."

Setting- Nowhere, Hamlets castle, a boat.

Author- Tom Stoppard

THeme- Everything is predetermind. They are trapped in this play and can't break free of that. Tom Stoppard is kind of making them go around in circles throughout the play.

prompt revision

1973. An effective literary work does not merely stop or cease; it concludes. In the view of some critics, a work that does not provide the pleasure of significant closure has terminated with an artistic fault. A satisfactory ending is not, however, always conclusive in every sense; significant closure may require the reader to abide with or adjust to ambiguity and uncertainty. In an essay, discuss the ending of a novel or play of acknowledged literary merit. Explain precisely how and why the ending appropriately or inappropriately concludes the work. Do not merely summarize the plot.

In the end of the play the Death Of a Salesman the main character, Willy, dies supposedly having killed himself. This I think inappropriately concludes the play. After a long fight with his youngest son Biff they made up and then suddenly he is dead. The book was about Willy and his relationship with his family and just as him and his son had started to get along he killed himself. He had ust gone through a tough fight with Biff then at the end Biff finally tries to tell him that he can’t be what Willy wants and we see that Willy is staring to understand him but then he decides it would be a good idea to go kill himself.
The end of the play is a scene at his funeral in which nobody has come to except his family. This was also anticlimactic because throughout the whole play Willy is talking about how much he is liked and his connection and friends. Also about how important it is for Biff to be welled liked in life. Then nobody shows up signaling the reader to the fact that he was not well liked at all and making us realize that is why he was unable to make any money.
