A Research On Samuel Beckett's Opposing Traditional Theatre Works Endgame And Waiting For Godot
Abstract
In Endgame and Waiting for Godot of Samuel Beckett, who denied fundamental styles and themes of common traditional theatre conception, tragic situation of human being in timeout and indefinite extent is implied. In twentieth century, an antithesis has developed against plays, having similar stylistic view and themes, in accordance with the existence of restricting influence during the Classical Era. Because of this approach, indirectly paraphrasing the reality by implicating it, the foundation of absurd theatre, which arose as a reaction to the traditional theatre, is laid. Samuel Beckett, who went out of the before used themes and decoration, examines individuality and existence problematics of human being in body and consciousness depression. In our study Endgame and Waiting for Godot of Samuel Beckett, presenting the reality mimetically, are examined in the light of text oriented approach.
