Abstract
English playwright Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is one of the most successful adaptations of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, transformed from a revenge tragedy into an Absurd drama. The two minor characters in Shakespeare’s play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, are taken into limelight on Stoppard’s stage and are apparently at a loss in their new world, thrown into a predicament far beyond their understanding. Like other plays of the Theatre of the Absurd, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead presents in philosophical ways man’s lack of absolute values, the problem of freedom and the uncertainty of knowledge and perception. The themes of the play have been familiar in contemporary literature — confusion, helplessness and the absence of identity. This paper is to try a closer look at the application of metadrama in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead to see how the metadramtic is used to reinforce the themes of man’s confusion, helplessness and the absence of identity in the play. Key words: Stoppard, metadrama, theme Resume: La piece du dramaturge anglais Tom Stoppard intitulee Rosencrantz and Guildenstern sont morts est l’une des adaptations les plus reussies de Hamlet de Shakespeare. La tragedie de vengeance est transforme en une piece absurde. Deux figurants Rosencrantz et Guildenstern dans la piece de Shakerpeare sont portes sur le devant de la scene par Stoppard. Desorientes sur la scene, ils tombent dans la detresse. Comme d’autres pieces absurdes, cette piece pleine de philosophie demontre le manque de conception de la valeur parfaite, la detresse de la liberte et l’incertitude de la cognition de l’homme. Ses themes sont familiers a la litterature contemporaine- perplexite, solitude et manque de sentiment d’identite. Et l’expression de ces themes doit beaucoup a l’utilisation des techniques propres au theâtre des Yuan dans la piece de Stoppard. L’article present vise a etudier comment Stoppard emploie les techinques du theâtre Yuan pour faire ressortir ces themes. Mots-Cles: Stoppard, theâtre desYuan, theme

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
