English Abstract
This study presents Tom Stoppard as a playwright who prefers shedding light upon the meaninglessness and absurdity of the world we live in through the two main characters in his play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (1967).
Derived from the Shakespearean play Hamlet, Stoppard's play emphasizes the themes of existentialism and absurdism through the witty dialogues, word play, sarcasm and metatheatre.
Hence the play is open to analysis from different viewpoints.
This study will mainly use the comparative method of research analysis in dealing with both Hamlet and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.
On the other hand this study will also include analysis concluded through study based on the descriptive approach, reader-response theory and the analytical approach to answer the questions put forward herein.
Stoppard addresses universal themes that all humans respond to and so this study can be an example of a work which focuses on the achievements of this creative playwright.
