Present by:- Zala Krutikaba. D Roll no :- 15 Semester :- 3 2014 - 2015 Paper :- The Modernist Literature Topic:- Waiting for Godot – As an Absurd Theatre Submitted to :- Smt. S.B. Gardi Department of English M.K. Bhavnagar University
The “ Theatre of the Absurd “ is also known as a “ New Theatre “. The word “ Absurd “ means foolishness , senseless , opposed to reason , something silly and ridiculous. Critic “ Martin Esslin “ coined the term in his 1960 essay “ Theatre of the Absurd “. The Theatre of the Absurd commonly associated with “ Existentialism “.
Meaninglessness of life No wonder No Organized movement Lack of plot Elements of “ Existentialism “ Very hard contain Puzzled dialogues Nonsense language Characters are stereotypical and archetypal Importance of Repetition. Absurd or unexplained ending Comic Scenes Different from Traditional drama
Senseless activity of Vladimir and Estragon Waiting for Godot.
No beginning , climax and ending. Same place and time Unexplained story Nothingness and emptiness
Song of “ death of a dog “ by Vladimir : A dog came in the kitchen And stole a crust of bread. Then cook up with a ladle And beat him till he was dead. Then all the dogs came running And dug the dog a tomb– Changing hats scene
Who is Godot ? God or Man ? Act 1 : Pozzo - Master Lucky – Slave Act 2 : Pozzo – Master Lucky - Slave No female character
Nonsense language of Lucky makes confusion. Given the existence as uttered forth in the public works of Puncher and Wattmann of a personal God quaquaquaqua with white beard quaquaquaqua outside time without extension who from the……. Dialogues of Vladimir and Estragon make misunderstanding.
Same time , place , action in Act 1 and 2. Same dialogues :- ESTRAGON:What do we do now? VLADIMIR:Wait for Godot. ESTRAGON:Ah!Silence.
No use of interesting plot. No sense of story Meaningful dialogues No use of dream , fantasy and poetic language.
Believe in existence of “Man” Believe in “God” Waiting for God
Unexplained ending Here ending is not conclusion No satisfaction Decision of suicide if Godot fails to arrive. A play gives confusion and problems. And no solution.
Thank you
