Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead Act II Study Questions

Act II Study Guide Questions 1. How would the audience explain why Rosencrantz and Guildenstern cannot determine “which way they c[a]me in”?

Act II Study Guide Questions 2. How might the placement of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, as discussed in the previous question, illustrate an existential idea?

Act II Study Guide Questions 3. How do Guildenstern’s ideas in the passage beginning with “Wheels have been set in motion…” reveal his existential angst?

Act II Study Guide Questions 4. How does the Player’s rant reflect existential angst?

Act II Study Guide Questions 5. The beginning of Act III, Scene I of Hamlet is omitted from Stoppard’s play. It is as follows: Claudius: And can you, by no drift of circumstance Get from him why he puts on this confusion, Grating so harshly all his days of quiet With turbulent and dangerous lunacy? Rosencrantz: He does confess he feels himself distracted; But from what cause he will by no means speak. Guildenstern: Nor do we find him forward to be sounded, But, with a crafty madness, keeps aloof, When we would bring him on to some confession Of his true state. What are some reasons why Stoppard may have eliminated this text?

Act II Study Guide Questions 6. What does the Player say about the realism and believability of art? Why might this idea be true?

Act II Study Guide Questions 7. In the context of the play, why is Guildenstern incorrect when he claims that people learn by experience?
