In order to answer it, both plays will be compared to work out similarities as well as differences. Godot will function as a basis and startingpoint for interpretation, that will then turn towards Endgame for comparison to come to a conclusion. Main features of the drama such as plot, setting, characters, action, language and time will be involved in this procedure of analysis. To a certain extent, this approach towards the two plays will also be related to the historical context of Postmodernism and the philosophical background of Existentialism, as well as to characteristics of the Theatre of the Absurd or the Expressionist Theatre.

Samuel Beckett's Endgame by Mark S. Byron Pdf

This collection of essays the first volume in the Dialogue series brings together new and experienced scholars to present innovative critical approaches to Samuel Beckett s play Endgame. These essays broach a broad range of topics, many of which are inherently controversial and have generated significant levels of debate in the past. Critical readings of the play in relation to music, metaphysics, intertextuality, and time are counterpointed by essays that consider the nature of performance, the history of the theater and the music hall, Beckett s attitudes to directing his play, and his responses to other directors. This collection will be of special interest to Beckett scholars, to students of literature and drama, and to drama theorists and practitioners.

The Making of Samuel Beckett's "Fin de Partie/Endgame" by Dirk Van Hulle,Shane Weller Pdf

"This volume of the BDMP analyses the genesis of Fin de partie / Endgame. Described by Samuel Beckett as more 'inhuman' than Waiting for Godot and as possessing an ability to 'claw', it was his favourite among all his plays and yet also a work the genesis of which was particularly arduous. It took Beckett many years to complete the French version, and about the translation process he complained in 1957: 'what a losing battle it is always'. This book explores that genesis through an analysis of all the surviving manuscripts and typescripts, retracing Beckett's difficulty to begin, to continue and, eventually, to end the play. It also brings to light some hidden treasures, such as the dramatic fragment 'Louis & Blanc' and the Lord Chamberlain's copy of the English translation, in which the censor's pen excises a number of key passages, including the celebrated reference to God: 'The bastard! He doesn't exist!"--Back cover.

Endgame and Act Without Words by Samuel Beckett Pdf

Samuel Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969; his literary output of plays, novels, stories and poetry has earned him an uncontested place as one of the greatest writers of our time. Endgame, originally written in French and translated into English by Beckett himself, is considered by many critics to be his greatest single work. A pinnacle of Beckett’s characteristic raw minimalism, it is a pure and devastating distillation of the human essence in the face of approaching death.
