He soon feels he has outgrown that stage in his life. Rosencrantz's and Guildenstern's immaturity can be seen through many examples, like this one when Hamlet says 3"Man delights / Not me, no, nor women neither, though by your/ Smiling you seem to say so."Of which Rosencrantz and Guildenstern find humorous at the thought of Hamlet with another man.Hamlet soon realizes it goes well beyond immaturity; it is also stupidity and ignorance that begins to separate the three. Guildenstern says to the king, 4"Nor do we find him [Hamlet] forward to be sounded,/ But with a crafty madness keeps aloof/ When we would bring him on to some confession/ Of his true state."saying that even in his bewildered state, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are confused by his wit.Hamlet, showing that he is well aware of his superiority in intelligence, says 5"A knavish speech sleeps in a /Foolish ear."to Rosencrantz after he doesn't understand that Hamlet is calling him a sponge.Hamlet begins to distance himself from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.This can be accounted for because he feels he is better than they are, as a gentleman, or that he is upset that they are sucking up to the king and queen.Throughout the play you can see that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are trying to impress the king and queen looking for some possible rewards.Very often the two men are called by the king and demanded favors of, which they happily oblige to. They also seek to impress the king and queen with statements like 6"It so fell out that certain players/ We o"erraught on the way, Of these we told him,/ And there did seem in him a kind of joy to hear it."bragging that they were able to tell Hamlet first and please him in such a hectic time.Hamlet by now is getting rather tired of their brown nosing, and states it many times directly to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.Hamlet finally reveals his true feelings to Rosencrantz by saying 7"That I can keep your counsel and not mine/ Own.
