Here's the journal entry you were responding to in class earlier...
Explore the idea of fate and man's inability to control his destiny using the play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.
Guildenstern: Free to move, speak, extemporize, and yet. We have not been cut loose. Our truancy is defined by one fixed star, and our drift represents merely a slight change of angle to it: we may seize the moment, toss it around while the moments pass, a short dash here, and exploration there, but we are brought round full circle to face again the single immutable fact-- that we, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, bearing a letter from one king to another, are taking Hamlet to England.
...
Guildenstern: There must have been a moment, at the beginning, where we could have said - no. But somehow we missed it.
...
Player: There comes a point when everyone who is marked to die, die.
Guildenstern: Who decides?
Player: Decides? It is written.
