The objective of this paper is to discuss and critically analyze the conditions of emergency waiting rooms. The specific issue this paper intends to explore is extensive and prolonged waiting times for patients accessing health care, patients who need urgent treatment and the vulnerability of elderly patients and children.

Homeless and Alienated in Waiting For Godot   Jean-Paul Sartre (1957) once said "Man is condemned to be free; because, once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does." (23) Whether this is good or bad is not an issue, whereas the implications derived from this are profound. Life, in this case, has no fixed purpose, and we are free to give it one; perhaps it is more appropriate to say that we are condemned to give it one, instead. One look at today's western modernized

same way, and this is shown through their plays 'Waiting for Godot' and 'The Bald Soprano'. The very title of 'Waiting for Godot' shows that the play has a lot to do with time, where it is shown as being cyclical (the events occur in a cycle). The play's central characters Vladimir and Estragon are forced to whittle away their days in the hope that another character named Godot will arrive and add a little sense of direction to their lives. Godot never comes, and so Vladimir and Estragon simply

individual imagery. As a whole, we are also forced to be ruled by an upper authority. These are the people who make it feel like we cannot live our lives the way we see it. Just like in Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot his character Vladimir says “let’s wait and see what he says” (Waiting for Godot 13). The thought that some of mankind thinks they have to listen to the upper authority is a meaningless waste of their time. Why would a person waste their time and energy concentrating on how the anarchy

friends company. These sickly rewards are the ones given to men, theorizes Samuel Beckett in Waiting for Godot, when they wait for the arrival of God. Stark barren surroundings and perpetual loneliness are the only gift, in Beckett's mind, when one waits for a supernatural being who does not deign to visit mere mortals. This aloof and impersonal deity is symbolized in the aptly named character of Godot, who restricts the plot of the play. He keeps Vladimir and Estragon from taking action, strands

1949 and premiered as a play in 1953 as En attendant Godot, Beckett coupled these devices with minimalism and absurdity in order to create the tragicomedy known to English speakers as Waiting for Godot. True to its title, Waiting for Godot is the tale of a pair of best friends known as Vladimir (Didi) and Estragon (Gogo) who are waiting for the character the audience comes to know as Godot to appear. Throughout Beckett’s play Waiting for Godot, Samuel Beckett alludes to the monotheistic religion

The Frontier of Existence in Beckett’s Waiting for Godot and Ionesco’s Rhinoceros     ‘I feel that I had been at the frontier of existence, close to the place where they lose their names, their definition, the place where time stops, almost outside History’ (E Ionesco). This essay will explore the frontier of existence in Beckett’s Waiting for Godot and Ionesco’s Rhinoceros The title Rhinoceros is formed from the ancient Greek Rhino meaning nose and Keros meaning horn.

What comes to mind when you think of Antarctica? Far away, penguins, maybe a few scientists, and……ice. Antarctica is a continent located towards the Southern Pole and covered, completely, in ice. The ice has come and gone throughout history as the result of massive changes in climate and now, something is happening to it. The ice is depleting, though not as fast as the Arctic Ocean, and not quite the way you would think. And if we accept that it is depleting, what happens as the climate continues

sign for the dominance of Paris in art in the West. French theatre was soon associated with a short-lived eruption of surrealism, which came to be known as “theatre of the absurd". The leaders of this movement were Beckett and Ionesco.Beckett's Waiting for Godot and Endgame became the twin sisters to Ionesco's Exit the King. Beckett, then, can be considered the father of absurd drama. Esslin (1976) says that this does not mean that the theatre of the absurd is essentially French. It is broadly based

Themes in Samuel Beckett’s ‘Waiting for Godot’. Samuel Beckett’s ‘Waiting for Godot’ is a typical example of what is referred to in literary terms as ‘Absurd Theatre’, a phrase referring to 20th century works that depict the absurdity of modern human creation, often with implicit reference to humanity’s loss or lack of religious, philosophical or cultural roots. Such works depict the individual as essentially isolated and alone, even when surrounded by other people and things. Many modern comic

Waiting for Godot The Boy Twice in Waiting for Godot, both Gogo and Didi meet the “boy” sent by Mr. Godot, once toward the end of Act I and once again at the end of Act II. When the boy appears, the only information he has to offer the two tramps is that Godot will come the following day, and shows no knowledge of coming with the same message the day before. This is Beckett’s way of addressing hope as an illusion, and of emphasizing the repetitive cycle of everyday life. This theme is central

Just One Man: Silence and Defiance In J.M. Coetzee’s Waiting for the Barbarians This past summer, I had occasion to find myself in a number of airport terminals in various cities around the world. The scenes and memories of each mostly blend together in a mill of nondescript faces, foreign tongues, and ambling bodies. Much of the time I spent waiting, clutching a coach ticket, could be likened to an animated state of sleep. I was there to function, to shuffle into line and put my body in

Waiting times in public hospital have been a big issue in the media lately. Politicians addressing these issues and using them as a bargaining point in their campaigns by making promises to fix the current health care problem by extra funding or a re-form in the health care. Public health patients featuring in

Who is Godot and what does he represent? These are two of the questions that Samuel Beckett allows both his characters and the audience to ponder. Many experiences in this stage production expand and narrow how these questions are viewed. The process of waiting reassures the characters in Beckett's play that they do indeed exist. One of the roles that Beckett has assigned to Godot is to be a savior of sorts. Godot helps to give the two tramps in Waiting for Godot a sense of purpose. Godot is an

Entrapment in Waiting for Godot and Existence and Existents       Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot has been criticized as a play in which nothing happens-twice. Not only are Vladimir and Estragon, the two primary characters, unable to change their circumstances in the first act, the second act seems to be a replay of this existential impotence. Vladimir's remark "Nothing to be done," at the opening of the play, may be said to characterize the whole. Estragon complains that "Nothing

Chapter 3 3.0 Description of Existing System The existing system is such that request for portfolio transfer usually involves the client intimating his current broker of his intention to move, often times such request is usually resisted by the existing broker not formally though but by employing antics that would discourage the client from moving, a request for transfer could lie fallow at the broker office without being attended to and the process is not regulated by the regulator (Nigerian Stock

Awakening Thoughtful Laughter in Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot Samuel Beckett’s use of humor can be seen throughout his repertoire of work, ranging from the exaggeratedly tragic lives of the two characters in Rough for Theater I to the mechanical prodding that is required to rouse the characters in Act Without Words II. The humor in Beckett’s work is given dimension by the fact that it addresses morbid themes such as death, poverty, suffering, and the crushing despair and apathy that

and the outrageous behavior of two self-destructive individuals. However, we never envision ourselves in that situation, playing either the stereotyped role of the crazy woman or man, both blinded by love or another passionate emotion. However, in Waiting for the Barbarians, J.M. Coetzee creates an eye-brow rising, head-tilting relationship between the old and pedophilic magistrate and the damaged barbarian girl. The transformative relationship between the two individuals is based on torture, guilt

Samuel Beckett and Waiting for Godot         As much as any body of writing this century, the works of Samuel Beckett reflect an unflinching, even obsessive flirtation with universal void. His literary and dramatic accounts of skirmishes with nothingness portray human beings (generally beings, at least, beings more or less human and intact) situated in paradoxical, impossibly absurd circumstances.   Samuel Barclay Beckett was born in the comfortable Dublin suburb of Foxrock

Hypertext fiction).[4][5][6] Some further argue that the beginning of postmodern literature could be marked by significant publications or literary events. For example, some mark the beginning of postmodernism with the first performance of Waiting for Godot in 1953, the first publication of Howl in 1956 or of Naked Lunch in 1959. For others the beginning is marked by moments in critical theory: Jacques Derrida's "Structure, Sign, and Play" lecture in 1966 or as late as Ihab Hassan's usage in The

Godot ve Beklemek - Oya İşeri Gever Birbirlerine takma isimleriyle seslenen iki avare, kır yolunda, kuru, yapraksız bir ağacın dibinde buluşurlar. Godot’nun gelmesini beklemektedirler. “Zaman öldürmek” için oradan buradan -en sıklıkla Godot’dan- konuşur, geçmişlerini yâd eder, birbirlerine şakalar yapar, bir şeyler yerler. Beklemekten sıkılınca kendilerini asmaya kalkarlar ancak kimin önce öleceğine bir türlü karar veremezler; zaten ipleri de yoktur. Bazen ayrılmayı düşünürler ama ne cesaretleri

Science and Human Values in Ibsen's An Enemy of the People, Beckett's Waiting for Godot and Freud's Civilization and Its Discontents Throughout the centuries, society has been given men ahead of their time. These men are seen in both actual history, and in fictional accounts of that history. Aristotle, Copernicus, Galileo, Bacon, and even Freud laid the framework in their fields, with revolutionary ideas whose shockwaves are still felt today. For every action there is an equal and opposite

Justice Versus Empire in J.M. Coetzee's Waiting for the Barbarians Rhythm is the fundamental element of music; without its pulsing drive, a melody seems aimless, and harmony irrelevant. The beat of a drum awakens the primal within us, calling back ancestral memories and basic instincts. It can lead us to dance and to joy, but also, too often, to war. The war drums beat loudly in cycles throughout history. Many would argue they first became audible to our generation immediately following September

The Dumb Waiter The Dumb Waiter by Harold Pinter is a play that was influenced by Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot. Pinter’s work is about two men, Ben and Gus, who seem to work together although no one really knows what they do. The play starts out with Gus trying to fill the void space that is evident by his actions. Ben is reading the newspaper and does not seem to notice the silence of the scene, but Gus is trying to find something to fill this silence. The setting is that of a basement room

The state of exception and collective shame in Coetzee: An allegorical reading of Waiting for the Barbarians Within J.M. Coetzee's Waiting for the Barbarians, the author implores an allegorical style to serve as a moral and cultural response to colonialism and the evils of torture. While the argument has been made that this novel represents a specific criticism of South African political structures, Coetzee's intentions were much broader and his novel is a critique of colonialism that is analogous

“Anyone who has loved knows how much waiting goes into it – how much waiting is important for love to grow, to flourish through a lifetime.” The homily of Fr. James Donelan is over all a piece about the beauty of waiting. It explains not only about waiting on the simple things in life such as waiting for the meals to be served or waiting for our first job, but it also expounds about waiting as a bigger aspect such as waiting for your true love or waiting to say goodbye. He first explained that

directly reflect the work of another. I believe this is the same connection shared by the modern dramatists and absurdist writers Tom Stoppard and Samuel Beckett. The connection between these two authors is clearly shown through the study of Waiting for Godot and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, are very similar to Beckett's characters Vladimir and Estragon. Their beliefs and behavior clearly show this. Stoppard's

I wake up in a waiting room. Six blue seats on either side of the room lined perfectly. I’m in the one farthest to the entrance of the room, I am the only one here. I look to my side to see an old stereo on a coffee table with a trashcan underneath. A door leading to a bathroom is next to the table. This whole place seems odd, how did i get here? what am i doing here? The room is lit with fluorescent bulbs, cheap floating ceiling is everywhere along with white walls and a carpeted floor. the sound

in order to overcome this load ,they have created a child. I would like to make a parallel with Beckett’s play “waiting for Godot “ to show the role of the child in the couple.As Godot is a fake character in Beckett’s play “waiting for Godot “ allowing the people to survive ,is the child in Albee’s play.The protagonists of Godot and Albee invent imaginary characters. Godot and Jimmy are a symbol of everlasting hope, a reason to live. The imaginary child is the crutch to hold the failures

actually has meaning. Existentialist philosophy firmly puts into place that life has no purpose unless one assigns it purpose, that “everything you've learned is nonsense if you don't assign logic to it” (Ross). Famous existentialist works like Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett, exemplify this message through vaudeville style characters in the absurdist theatre genre. “Given the existence as uttered forth in the public works of Puncher and Wattman [. . .]” (Beckett 45. I), the character Lucky’s monologue

Although ‘Waiting for Godot' is seen to be very depressing and contains many elements which may mark it as a tragedy, the four characters create a great deal of humour in their mannerisms and their behaviour. Beckett created the concept of ‘The Theatre of the Absurd', a play on human emotions and character which may give off feelings of despair, yet also of humour simultaneously. Most of the time, the audience tends to laugh at the helplessness created by Vladimir and Estragon in the play, and the

began learning about it during class, and when I experienced by first piece of modern art that really moved me: "Bucolic Landscaping," created by Heinrich Campendonk. "Bucolic Landscaping" is very similar to the ideas in Samuel Beckett's novel Waiting for Godot. When looking at the painting, I saw immediate connections to the novel. The man in painting is a perfect example of the two vagabonds, Estragon and Vladimir, and the animals are perfect representations of Lucky and Pozzo, other stragglers

They way I imagine the scene of the poem is; a hot summer day in an urban area in Lynwood, California. I imagine Debbie’s

Pastiche on Waiting for Godot The Theatre of the Absurd is a style of writing which portrays human life as a meaningless and futile existence resulting in one’s inevitable death. Similar to the Lost Generation movement created as a result of the death and destruction of World War I, the Theatre of the Absurd is a reaction to World War II in which the war survivors felt as though death was inevitable and therefore nothing in one’s existence mattered since material possessions would not travel with

for example, with Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot. I have spoken with very, very few people who failed to use the word "boring" to describe this play. I once sat through a showing of this play with companions who later said the experience was agonizing. But this is precisely Beckett's objective. The play is meant to be boring and agonizing, because Beckett's intent is to show us how our daily lives are boring and agonizing in just the same way. The irony of Godot is that Vladimir and Estragon have

and contrast Sartre’s No Exit with Beckett’s Waiting for Godot. Samuel Beckett’s vision of two lowly tramps in the middle of a derelict environment can be placed in direct contrast to the claustrophobic and eternal nightmare presented by Jean-Paul Sartre , but each playwright possessed objectives for their respective audiences and each shared a valued opinion on the theories of existentialism which can be established in the plays Waiting for Godot and No Exit. Beckett introduces the audience

Indian setting lived amid unpredictable events. The book ‘Waiting for the Mahatma’ written by Narayan begins in latter part of the colonial era, in the 1940’s, when the Quit India movement is taking place. Though a greater part of this book is set in Malgudi and its surrounding villages, some scenes take place in other parts of the country like Delhi. Style in literature is the result of a successful blending of form with content. In ‘Waiting for the Mahatma’ it is the content which is the main attraction
