In the beginning of act 1, Ros and Guil start out by tossing coins and guessing if it lands on heads or tails. Ros keeps winning every time because he is smarter and he probably knows something that Guil doesn't know. After they finish their coin tossing charade, Ros starts talking very philosophically, and sounds smart. He also starts to question time. I don't know why he does this, it really doesn't add much to the plot, but it might characterize Ros more. Then the play people come, or the tragedians. They give Ros and Guil a spot in the play. Then something really weird happens with fate showing up. Then the shakespeare characters show up and everybody seems tense. Ros and Guil practice a Q&A session for Hamlet. Then the act pretty much ends.
Some major elements are the difference between the shakespeare and normal language, and the mentioning of probablility and also the discussion of fate. Lastly, the arrival of fate is important as well.
