Read the excerpt from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard. GUIL Till events have played themselves out. There’s a logic at work—it’s all done for you, don’t worry. Enjoy it. Relax. To be taken in hand and led, like being a child again, even without the innocence, a child—it’s like being given a prize, an extra slice of childhood when you least expect it, as a prize for being good, or compensation for never having had one. . . . Do I contradict myself? Which statement best describes Guildenstern’s perspective in this excerpt?
Answer
A
He feels nostalgic for the time when he was young.
B
He feels worried that he does not make sense.
C
He feels excited for the reward they might get.
D
He feels certain that things will work themselves out.
Explanation
Guildenstern says there is “a logic at work” and that things are “all done for you,” so he believes events will unfold on their own. His advice to relax and enjoy being led shows that he feels confident things will work themselves out, not that he is worried or longing for his actual childhood.
