Ive Only Seen One Post That Compares Hamlet/horatios Relationship And Rosencrantz/guildensterns For Comedic

I’ve only seen one post that compares hamlet/horatio’s relationship and rosencrantz/guildenstern’s for comedic reasons and it’s so sad because it is such funny content

when i say they’re married i have my reasons

if you haven’t read ‘rosencrantz and guildenstern’ (1874) you’re really fucking missing out

other line highlights include “He’s going to soliloquize! Prevent this, gentlemen, by any means” and “I can’t bear death! I’m a philosopher!”

“It would have been nice to have had unicorns.”

Ros. Ophelia!

Oph. (delighted and surprised) Rosencrantz and Guildenstern! This meeting likes me much. We have not met since we were babies!

Ros. The Queen hath summoned us, and I have come in a half-hearted hope that I may claim once more my baby-love!

Oph. Alas, I am betrothed!

Ros. Betrothed? To whom?

Oph. To Hamlet!

Ros. Oh, incomprehensible! Thou lovest Hamlet?

Oph. (demurely). Nay, I said not so – I said we were betrothed.

— W.S. Gilbert, “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern”, 1874

Well, something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
