It’s a shame that Hamlet doesn’t just take off running from here – that he can’t somehow send Rosencrantz and Guildenstern on ahead and then book it out of there, or put on a disguise and join the Norwegian army or whatever. Like – if he escaped here instead of later, during the pirate attack – maybe Rosencrantz and Guildenstern wouldn’t have gotten on the boat and they wouldn’t have had their letters switched and they wouldn’t have been executed by the King of England. I mean – I guess I mean it’s a shame for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Obviously a pirate rescue that includes a letter switch and ends with an execution is a much better story.
