The essay examines the situations in which Hamlet is associated with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and how distinct the characters are in themselves. Furthermore, the essay also deals with the revelation made by Shakespeare in Stoppard through his two characters "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern". The prince of Denmark – Hamlet – is the main character of Shakespeare's play. He is the grandson of Claudius, the current king and son of the late king who was later revealed to have been murdered.

Reading the play Hamlet and Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead, it can be said that both plays depend on each other and, in fact, are intertwined together. It brings out the characters through the 'metatheatre' staged by both the players and the characters who cannot find their true identity.
