New Book
Ok this book is very confusing.
It was very hard for me to read in the begining. It asks a whole heck of a lot of questions and is hard to follow who is saying what and what is being said. the story went hand and hand with Hamlet (mostly at the end of this section we read). the characters seem a bit strange (crazy). the language used in this text is sophisticated and intelegent. (aka hard to understand). they talk about math and many other learny type things. Guild seemes a bit emo and has “moments” where he has little mood swings… where Ros remains calm most of the time. Guild seems to know what he is doing most of the time and Ros seems to be a little bid more relaxed and chill with things…
why does this text ask so many questions? is this a style of writing used in that time.

I agree with you about the personalities of the two characters; Guil goes from being calm to insane in about one soliloquy, while Ros stays pretty normal (and sane) for most of the reading. I believe the multitude of questions and very sophisticated language has to do with this play being a satire of Hamlet, although I could be wrong. I’m sure we’ll get the answer to this as we read…

I think it was not supposed to make sense. i really think that it was just like that at the beginning to set the ready up so that the reader knows that this is going to be a pretty crazy and messed up play. it plays will all the words and questions to give us this effect
