"Dead Men’s Path" Chinua Achebe’s "Dead Men’s Path" is filled with symbolism. The story starts off in January of 1949‚ where young Michael Obi became headmaster of Ndume Central School.

whilst pondering the mysteries of death and chance through constant rambling and anxious confusion. To understand the notion that ‘“Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead” locates us in places of social and psychological change’ we must acknowledge the context in which the play was written. When Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead appeared in 1966‚ it was evidently linked to The Theatre of the Absurd.

Whether we choose to conform with everyone else becoming controlled by rules and regulations‚ or if we choose to develop into free thinking and confident adolescents we have the ability to change the way
