Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were never able to tell one another apart, and neither could anyone else (it's also sort of a joke, since neon tetras can be extremely hard to tell apart). So identity is flexible in the sense that it is as much a matter of performance as it is biology and the internalization of things.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's identities merged performatively until they were interchangeable, and not even they could tell each other apart.

All very well and good, but I was just refering to the "...Are Dead" bit. Since, you know, that kind of overrides all the rest.
