Rosencrantz& Guildenstern Are Dead is about ambiguity: ambiguity in time,place, comprehension, identity. The two characters brought into being within the puzzling universe of the play, by an act of the playwright's creation and other characters they encounter, often confuse their names, as they have interchangeable yet periodically unique identities.They are portrayed as two clowns or fools in a world that is beyond their understanding; they cannot identify any reliable feature or the significance in words or events. Rosencrantz & Guildenstern inhabit a world completely beyond their comprehension. While awaiting instructions, they fall back upon games -- word play and simple wagers-- that rarely achieve their intended goals. In the end, they resign themselves to their fate, although Guildenstern says, "There must have been a moment, at the beginning, when we could have said -- no. But somehow we missed it." Perhaps.
