Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
Tom Stoppard's play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead draws on two previous theatrical works: Shakespeare's Hamlet and Samuel Beckett's Waiting for
Godot. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead follows the "off-stage" exploits of two minor characters from Hamlet, Rosencrantz and Guildenstem. While the two
main characters in Stoppard's play occasionally make brief appearances in "Hamlet" as scripted in Shakespeare's original tragedy, the majority of the play
takes place
in other parts of the castle where Hamlet is set. While "off stage in this way, the characters resemble the main characters in the absurdist Waiting for Godot. As in
Beckett's play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern pass the time by impersonating other characters, engaging in word play, and remaining silent for long periods of time
These same two characters were also featured in a parody of Hamlet the short comic play by W. S. Gilbert entitled Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Gilbert's play
makes Rosencrantz and Guildenstern into central characters and alters the storyline of Hamlet

Oconvince the reader that one playwright is more talented than another
