Ok so I am still not sure if they know they are going to die or not. At some points they seem like they know it is coming and just like harald crick they are trying to prevent it. But then when they recieve the letter right before they die their descriptions of how they are acting seem to completing shoot down that idea and make me believe that they have no idea that it is coming. Although they could just be acting like this because even though their deaths were predetermined there are very few who can actually stay calm and know exactly what is going to happen. Like only someone who is completly brave or who is looking forward to death would not be “mesmerized”.
In a way they were the ones that caused all of this to happen. Hamlet would have never re-writen the letter if he had no over heard R & G reading the kings letter aloud and discussing it. Because they did this that led Hamlet to write the letter changing their destinies and making them dumed to death. But now i am confused because they figured out that the letter was swapped and read the one Hamlet had written, so now they know they are going to die? And who poisoned the queen in the end? im soo confused it all happend so fast! And did they actually die or does it just make us wonder?
