“All the world is a stage, and all the men and women are only actors. » (James 2.7.6. As you like it) The story Rosentcrantz and Guildernstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard shows how the stories and their characters are only fictitious. The characters in the play have no control over their own lives, they were created by a writer who controls everything about them and only exist when they are supposed to. The characters, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, however, do not realize that they are just simple characters and that they are being watched by the audience. Everything they do is humorous for the amusement of the audience. The draws, the acting, the scene, the fact that the characters couldn't make a choice - not even the player - all lead to the fact that they don't exist in their own lives, but exist when their play is preformed for the audience's enjoyment.Tom Stoppard used all forms of comedy in this tragedy to help show people the theater of the absurd and existentialism. Throughout the story, the author shows Ros and Guil curious and always trying to apply logic and find what is true, but in the end the audience learned that logic has no meaning and that nothing is really true. A good example of using logic is when the audience sees Ros and Guil playing the coin toss game. He always landed on tails, even though half the time he should have landed on heads. This shows that the logic doesn't make sense. Another example of failing to use logic would be that neither Ros nor Guil could understand what Hamlet was saying. To them it was just gibberish, however they perceived it. Guil had a knack for using sophisticated ways to make what he was saying sound true or like he knew what he was talking about, but because middle of paper......to explain his point views on existentialism and Theater of the Absurd by creating characters such as the Player, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern who do not exist but are simply characters created for the audience's enjoyment. Tom Stoppard used comedy throughout this play to explain how logic is meaningless, the breakdown of language, and the non-existence of not making choices. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead shows how Ros and Guil were unable to take control of their lives because the writer didn't want them to. They couldn't make a choice because everything about them was created by the author. Even the Player didn't exist, he was only the link between Tom Stoppard and the story itself. The player was, in a way, the spokesperson. Even if a character seemed aware of their situation, their life was still in the hands of their creator..
