Holding up the mirror to mind's nature: reading 'Rosencrantz' 'Beyond Absurdity.'

Application of the holographic reconstruction of 'Hamlet' helps in reading Tom Stoppard's 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead,' by putting one scene upon the other, or generating patterns of interference between the play and the viewer's memory of 'Hamlet.' Wilder Pribram, John O'Keefe, and Daniel C. Dennett's models of consciousness use parallel sequences going on in the characters while viewers delineate the play's 'absurdist' subjects of alienation, loss of identity, and the collapse of language.
