Why play the Question Game?

I believe the question game was played in this movie becaue Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were questioning their very existence. They contemplated earlier about their first memories, and could only remember being woken up and being told that they were messengers. I believe that at this point they discovered their purpose, but not necessarily their identity. (according to Extistntialism of course) Anyhow, the question game is an excellant example of this belief because they tend to question everything about them. who they are, how they exist and why, how they have no chioce so there must be a purpose etc. It simply proves their confusion in doscovering themselves and their purpose, since they have not yet accomplished it.

Approval or Dissaproval?

Line 56 i believe is said with simple acceptance. I read a few peopl's blogs, and would agree with Aaron that it is a mere statement. When this line is said, i picture Hamlet and Horatio contemplating the letter and Horatio sitting with a scrunched forehead, elbows on knees, and biting his teeth. He almost says this line under his breath, like he's figuring out some mystery. Like Nicholas Cage does in Nation Treasure when his trying to figure out another clue. He simply sits there are mumbles, "So Guidenstern and Rosencrantz go to't."
