Tom Stoppard's play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, draws on two previous theatrical works: Shakespeare's Hamlet and Sam

uel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead follows the "off-stage" exploits of two minor characters from Hamlet, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. While the two main characters in Stoppard's play occasionally make brief appearances in "Hamlet," as scripted in Shakespeare's original tragedy, the majority of the play takes place in other parts of the castle where Hamlet is set. While "off stage" in this way, the characters resemble the main characters in the absurdist Waiting for Godot. As in Beckett's play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern pass the time by impersonating other characters, engaging in word play, and remaining silent for long periods of time. These same two characters were also featured in a parody of Hamlet, the short comic play by W. S. Gilbert entitled Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Gilbert's play makes Rosencrantz and Guildenstern into central characters and alters the storyline of Hamlet.
The author of this passage is describing
a. intellectual arguments about Shakespeare's characters
b. misunderstood representations of Shakespeare's characters
c. problematic depictions of Shakespeare's characters
d. theatrical adaptations of Shakespeare's characters

What does hadero mean when she uses the term, "sonic lineages". what does she describe as her own sonic lineages?
SashulF [63]
Hadero uses the term "sonic lineages" to refer to the influence that has shaped her as a musician. This influence doesn't begin and end with other musicians that she had listened to before she herself became a musician. She grew up listening to jazz and hip-hop. But she owes most to the natural world, its sounds and music, such as bird songs. A complete silence is nearly impossible, and therefore, we are being influenced all the time.
