Beckett & Ibsen on Self-Discovery
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that compares the focus on identity in Samuel Beckett's play Krapp's Last Tape with that portrayed in Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House. The writer argues that each playwright has their protagonist go through a process of self-discovery, in which the reality of their lives is suddenly seen through fresh eyes. This new perception is a cathartic epiphany of understanding for both characters. However, the context of these plays and the emotional "places" that these two protagonists arrive at are diametrically opposed. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Beckett's "Endgame" - Theatrical Passage
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. The passage of Samuel Beckett's Endgame that begins "nothing is funnier than unhappiness" (Beckett 18) illustrates the highly amusing component of tragic comedy that was introduced by the French. Beckett - one of the most significant contributors what has come to be known as the 'theater of the absurd' - understood the value of laughter amidst sadness, an integral element in his work that allowed audiences to see just how peculiar people can be.

Beckett's Endgame
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page essay that discusses this play by Samuel Beckett in detail. The compelling question of the play is whether or not Clov will actually leave Hamm, as he threatens to do throughout the narrative. Some interpretations of the play see the characters as being trapped in a cyclical existence that has no true meaning due to its repetitive nature. Others have posited that due to actions in the play that seem irrevocable, there is a possibility for freedom. Examination of the play, however, the evidence that favors an interpretation that the characters are trapped in a meaningless and pointless existence is much stronger than any indication that there is an escape from their private hell. Over and over again, Beckett focuses on the farcical nature of the characters' repetitious behavior, which creates rituals of living that serve no purpose and simply keep them going toward all life's ultimate destiny, which is death. No additional sources cited.
