Rosencrantz is (probably only was) a friend of Hamlet. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (often considered one) spy on Hamlet the whole time for Claudius. They are constantly in between a plot that they have no idea about (Hamlet versus Claudius) and never learn of their real reason for their trip to Denmark. They probably had no idea that they were going to executed either.
Hamlet.
they slap each other silly
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Hamlet's childhood friends. Claudius sends them to spy on Hamlet.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are old school buddies of Hamlet's. They have been hired by the king to spy on Hamlet to find out why he is acting so peculiarly.
They are friends of Hamlet's from school.
Tom Shoppard wrote 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead'. It is a play that was first produced at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1966. The play is drawn from Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'.
Hamlets friends are Rosencrantz, Guildenstern and Horation. However throughout the play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern turn against Hamlet (not going to spoil how!) which leads to their downfall. Horation never goes against Hamlet, he is always there for him when Hamlet needs him. Hamlet is the best play by Shakespeare!!
It's called paraphrasing. Take a line that Rosencrantz says, then ask yourself, "What is he getting at? What does he mean?". You then take your answer and put those words into Rosencrantz's mouth.
"Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" is a play written by Tom Stoppard. It reimagines Shakespeare's "Hamlet" from the perspective of two minor characters, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. The play explores themes of fate, free will, and the nature of reality.
Hamlet is the last person to actually die in the play. However, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are the last people to have been mentioned dead--by Fortinbras I believe.
