R&G Are Finally Dead

“All plots move deathward” –Don DeLillo

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern have finally been sent to their deaths. As the play closed I found myself occupied by one question, is this it? I found the ending of the play to be rather anti-climatic and not at all what I had expected. I had thouight that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern would be hung, especiall after the player’s lamentations over his last botched execution. Instead the two merely disappear, and it is later discovered that they are dead. Throught the play, the only thing that they really knew was that they would eventually die.
