John Arden started his professional literary career at the Royal Court under the direction of George Devine. Among his early work belong the plays The Waters of Babylon (1957), Live Like Pigs (1958) and probably his best-known play Sergeant Musgrave’s Dance (1959). Arden, today a highly praised and appreciated playwright, received mostly bad reviews at the time of his productions in the 1950s. Critics slammed his early plays because of their difficult themes and complex style. Here is what the…

All humans have feelings of despair and worthlessness. As we mature, we have more substantial periods of worthlessness. In Ernest Hemingway’s “ A Clean, Well-Lighted Place”, we get an inside look at the relation between old age and feeling worthless. Old age promotes feelings of worthlessness. The old waiter is not rushed in his actions at the café, as he knows the struggles of the old man, and this causes him to drink alone at a bar. Old age supports the delay in critical actions. The old…

stay late at the café…With all those who do not want to go to bed. With all those who need a light for the night” (p. 3). As readers, the meaning on this can be concluded that the older waiter himself knows the pain the customer must be feeling. As long as the cafés are there for men to grieve in for company and comfort, this feeling of despair can be contained. Their homes’ symbolize loneliness; when then are alone their deepest inner thoughts are coming to mind. Last but not least, alcohol is…

Samuel Beckett’s two-act tragicomedy Waiting for Godot depicts the endless wait of two homeless men, for a man named Godot. Their endless cycle of waiting and thus suffering continues and repeats itself until it is stopped by someone who instead of waiting for false hope, chooses to find this hope on their own terms. A key piece of the play that reflects this idea is the song that Vladimir sings in the beginning of the second act. A song about a dog that stole a piece of bread and thus beaten…

some days, and how I might feel really overwhelmed. Though she explained some negative situations I may encounter, she continued by telling me to keep moving forward, to have a positive outlook on my performance because it will for sure may take me a long way after all. It gave me motivation from that day pushed me to move forward to not give up, not just in this job, but anything in…

“A country road. A tree. Evening.” These stage directions preface Samuel Beckett’s tragicomedy “Waiting for Godot.” In the play, two men meet on this sparse, forlorn stage and attempt to make sense of their obscure world through encounters with mysterious characters and the prospects of finding purpose upon the arrival of a character they call Godot. The two men, Estragon and Vladimir, experience very little action or significant adventure in regards to the plot. Still, Beckett, regarded by some…

doesn’t belong and one could imagine that so do you to him, but there is no you in the painting, you yourself out of the painting is the you in the painting. When looking at this work it immediately makes me feel very lonely, almost anxious. The focal point seems to be the center of the room, more so the pool table and the waiter. The waiter stands out more than anything else because of his cream and yellow under toned outfit. The reason he stands out so much is because the walls are almost…

in the play represent the makeup that consist inside the absurd theater. There are also other multiple ways that make up this play as absurd. One aspect of the absurd is that the plays are only limited in their setting along with what they do, and so is Primacy, “All the plays are restricted in space and in action” (Jacobus, 769). This is present in Dr. Harlan’s play when he uses only one setting: the house, the front yard and the backyard, or on the stage and offstage. The meaningless and…

As I stroll though the parking lot with the sun blasting its rays in my eyes and beads of sweat casually running down my face, I spot a small garden in front of The Whiskey Cake building. The garden, systematically placed right next to the front door, is filled with fully grown herbs like: rosemary, cilantro, basil, and mint. The small garden represents a simple principle the owners of The Whiskey Cake revolve their restaurant around, always keep the ingredients fresh and local. As I step into…
