Heather's Epic Coin Theory ("R&G are Dead")

Prior to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern meeting the players, they had been flipping coins, all of which landed heads. This is impossible and far outside the realm of reality. Also at this time, neither Rosencrantz or Guildenstern can remember past being summoned and neither knows what the heck is going on. Now, right before R & G plunge into the story of Hamlet, Rosencrantz flips the coin for the last time which ends up tails. AHA! I propose that the coin lands heads because they are finally within the realm of their intended story which provides them with meaning and a set of rules. They are no longer wandering around as potential characters, but rather they are real charcters.

Thoughts on "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead"

I am reading Waiting for Godot for my January MOR assignment. I the "R&G are Dead" is very similar to it. They both have a pair that have conversations that seem like babble, but at the same time, sound incredibly smart. I don't really get what they are saying, and I wonder if that is the point. Man, Po.Mo. writing is wierd. I am enjoying "R&G are Dead" and I hope that eventually, I will get what the heack they are saying.
As far as the flipping of the coin goes, I think it is amazing how the writer used something so trivial to reveal the characteristics of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (or Guildenstern and Rosencrantz). All of the conversation that flows from the coin flipping is interesting to, especially the infinite monkey theorem.
This is a random thought, but I am going to tack it on anyway. I think the probability of the flipping of the coin goes along with the story of Hamlet because a whole mess of things goes wrong so as to make you think it has to turn around. But it does not, and nothing good happens. Should this surprise us?
Well... that's it...
