Detailed explanation-1: -Hamlet’s heart suffered a blow of treason, a betrayal of his trust. He could not let his friends become enemies without a punishment. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern betrayed their friend and worked for Claudius, Hamlet’s enemy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: An unnamed British ambassador informs the king that ‘Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead’ in Act V, scene 2. Hamlet discovered that his erstwhile friends were carrying an execution order bearing his name.
Detailed explanation-3: -When their ship is attacked by pirates, Hamlet returns to Denmark, leaving Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to die; he comments in Act V, Scene 2 that “They are not near my conscience; their defeat / Does by their own insinuation grow.” Ambassadors returning later report that “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead."
Detailed explanation-4: -The idea for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead came from Stoppard’s agent, who suggested that his young budding playwright fashion a play around the two minor characters from Hamlet, but have them arrive in an English being ruled over by another Shakespeare character, King Lear.
