Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead is getting better and better! I love the humor and the characters. Even though we know they are lost, it seems so funny and is even making us laugh out loud in class.
The thing that gets me is its many layers. I have been indexing as we go and I am surprised at how much stuff is packed into this tiny little book! The fact that there's a play within a play within a play is just mind boggling! Sometimes it's a little confusing but it really makes me think. I can't stop asking myself the question that keeps come up, "what does it all mean??" But there's no answer!! It's so frustrating to know that there's not even an answer. I like that it's up to me to determine my own interpretation, but still! I'm so used to being given the right answer like in math or history. But this is totally different and I kind of like it.
I really like this absurdist period, and I think it suits me best. I often find myself asking the same questions as guild and ros, like "where am I going?" or "how did I get here?" or "where is this all going?" These are some really tuff questions, but that is what life is all about.
