Goodbye!

Well, my two favorite characters from "Hamlet" are FINALLY dead! Like always, I was very confused about what was going on in Act Three. At first, I thought it was kind of sad that these fellows were traveling to their deaths, but then I realized that that is what I'm doing. Of course, I have more to live for than they do, but I could drop dead this very moment. It sounds depressing, but we're all getting closer to death every second.

I decided that I don't actually like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern that much when they knew that they were supposed to take Hamlet to his death and they still went along with it! However, it was their order. They were summoned to do that, just as they were summoned to go to see Hamlet and Claudius in the first place. If I am summoned by authority to do something, I (usually) do it. Isn't that what life is? We follow rules set out by other people, often not questioning them. My life is pathetic if I follow orders simply because I am afraid of what will happen to me if I don't.
