Waiting staff

In both scenarios, the hopes and dreams of the main characters will seemingly never be accomplished. In Waiting for Godot, it becomes evident that Vladimir and Estragon will be left waiting day after day, repeating an endless cycle. In 1984, the hopes of the proles’ rebellion lie in their consciousness, which will never come so long as the proles remain comfortable with their lifestyle. In both…

He was heavily influenced by the philosophical struggle created by Samuel Beckett in Waiting for Godot. Both stories depict two protagonists in a democratic relationship exploring the absurdity of the human condition. By focusing on the waiting experienced in life, both stories depict the inevitable “down time” experienced in between periods of high action. Many distinct parallels can be made when comparing the…

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…

“Waiting for Godot” uses stage direction, parallels, uncertainty, and a tragicomedy approach in order to show that Estragon and Vladimir’s lives are meaningless. This also extends to eventually convey Samuel Beckett’s larger commentary on the purpose of human existence. Beckett wants to show how every individual’s life has no purpose or meaning. Before any thorough analysis can be made, it is important to understand the larger, extended metaphor that is this play—a metaphor for humankind. This…

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…

Charaterisation, like in many stories that concern the people, is too loose and vague. There is really no central hero as the characters rise and fall due to the nature of the story. The characterization of the story is lost in the many preambles and side attractions of the intrigue of the narrative. Tropes on their part are signaled by the trademark strange sound effect for advertising purposes. Notable also as a trope is the montage gymick of how the diegetic manner of telling the story of…

Mid Fall 2012 The plane ride here was a long one. The droning engines of the C-17 went on for hours and pierced through my earplugs. I could only feel overwhelmed and excited by what was happening. I was finally getting sent overseas after four long years of basic training. A few nervous thoughts had passed my mind about what could happen, but was soon drowned out by the engines. The passenger section of the C-17 was nothing like a civilian aircraft. A few rows of seats with our gear packed in…
