Ross and Guil Are Dead Summary

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are two well-dressed Elizabethan
men in the middle of a coin-spinning game. Their location is
featureless. Whoever calls the coin correctly wins it, and
Rosencrantz has been calling heads and winning dozens of
times. While he feels guilty about taking so much money from
his friend, he does not see the consistent "heads" tosses as
peculiar at all. Conversely, Guildenstern doesn't care about the
money, but he is disturbed by the lengthening series of "heads"
tosses. Rosencrantz is caught up in the game, but Guildenstern
wants to think about it theoretically. He begins thinking about
the laws of probability, focusing on the idea that if six monkeys
were thrown up in the air repeatedly, they would land on their
heads and tails about equally often. He tries to calculate the idea
of an "even chance" in his head: he just can’t believe that the
coin could land heads-up so many times in a row if there was a
fifty-fifty chance each time that it would land tails. Rosencrantz,
however, continues to be embarrassed at his success, calling it
"boring," which irritates Guildenstern, who is very interested
