In some respects, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead is a play about nothing—I mean, we all already read Hamlet and we all know what happens to Rosencrantz & Guildenstern, so really what could this play be about?

I think Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead is a play making fun of how really in Hamlet Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are unnecessary and don't really do anything. They just go deliver a letter and then die, they don't change the plot or anything that happens and also this play is not necessary. If you read Hamlet then you know what happens and you don't have to read this play because this play doesn't give you any new or important information it is just there like Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are there in Hamlet. This play is kind of like of what happens backstage it just tells what Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are doing when they are not in Hamlet also doing nothing. This play can be funny because Rosencrantz & Guildenstern don't even know what they are doing or what their purpose is so they just say whatever comes to their heads and sometimes over think about stuff because they have so much time to spend. They really have nothing to do so they just walk around everywhere with no clue.
