I even had you fooled.” “Midge, you know better than to call my workplace,” I fired back in a frustrated tone. “Does that mean you didn’t miss me either?” she answered sounding upset. Tick. Tick. Tick. It’s 3:30 p.m. and I am back in the office. I left hastily to reconcile the issues with Midge. She was upset that I wasn’t happy that I received her call, but she knew better! What we have now works because it doesn’t interfere with any other part of my life. If she didn’t get that I don’t know…

Sacrifice is a generalization of the endless inner turmoil of suffering and an extension of the lone wings of passion. It is an investment in the vestige of honor and a projection nobility. Sacrifice is a sacred, holy ideal that we often times try to hold ourselves to while facing the opposition of what is socially expected and morally irrelevant. The way sacrifice manifests in an individual’s psyche prescribes his or her actions. This is evident in the central characters in both of the short…

Hamlet and when the scene is finished Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are left baffled and resume seemingly insignificant dialogue. In Waiting for Godot the metatheatre high action periods occur during the episodes of Pozzo and Lucky’s master-slave relationship. Writer Ken Mayer’s argued that these metatheatre episodes “arose ‘pity and terror’ (both in Vladimir and Estragon as well as the audience)”because we all desire to be like Pozzo and fear to be like Lucky.” It is also interesting to note…

Hamlet’s monolog is one governed by rationality. It is a meditation on life and death, being alive and not being, over the disadvantages of existence and the act of suicide. Hamlet compares life with death. He sees life as missing the power, humans as being exposed to the blows of life and outrageous fortune. The only way to dodge the blows will be to stop existing. The death is thus a desirable state. Nevertheless, it is also seen as a journey to the unknown, to a place for which there is no…

succeeding, then “[feeling] about inside it, [turning] it upside down, [shaking] it, [and looking] on the ground to see if anything [had] fallen out…” (3). In addition, the comedy in the stage direction is also clearly seen with Beckett’s use of hats. Vladimir “takes off his hat, peers inside it, feels about inside it, shakes it, [and] puts it on again.” (3) Both of the protagonists have obsessions with physical objects. Instead of being fixated on something meaningful such as a relationship or…

INTRODUCTION Pinter’s first phase of writing is categorized into the Theatre of the Absurd which reflects the individuals’ concerns in the mundane world. The Absurd dramatists attempt to show the vivid reflection of the modern man and his bewilderment in their dramatic oeuvres by applying some specific elements. One of the fundamental themes of such drama is isolation. Absurdists mostly put their accusing finger on this weakness of man to prove his fragility of being alone. However, Absurd…

character of ‘Godot’. The audience or the readers do not know who ‘Godot’ is. The identity of ‘Godot’ remains uncertain throughout the play. Many critics assume that ‘Godot’ can actually mean ‘God’ however, Beckett strongly denies of this assumption of ‘Godot’ referring ‘God’. The uncertainty of the plot can also be seen where Vladimir pretends not to recognize Pozzo and Lucky in the first act. However, in the second act the event takes place in the other way around where Pozzo refuses to meet…

Rape! It is absurd and takes something away so precious from a person. Sex is supposed to be something of value, something we tell our children to hold on to until marriage. We want them to share that one special thing with a significant other, but when someone of no morals steals that without consent, it affects the one raped and those loved ones around them. The main character Alice in the book Lucky by Alice Sebold was raped and that made a drastic turn in her life and affects those…
