Waiting for Godot is often interpreted as Samuel Beckett's reflection on his experiences during World War II, when he lived in German-occupied France and was part of the French Resistance movement. Beckett and his partner Suzanne had to flee Paris in 1942 to avoid arrest, and they eventually found refuge in the small village of Roussillon near Avignon. In the French version of the play, this village is named as the place where Vladimir and Estragon picked grapes, an activity that Beckett and Suzanne actually engaged in. Some scholars suggest that Beckett's war experiences, particularly the waiting and uncertainty he faced while in hiding, served as an inspiration for the play. The play's indeterminate time and place, as well as the characters' sense of waiting for something or someone, have been interpreted as Beckett's way of reflecting on his own wartime experiences.

• The 1969 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Samuel Beckett " for his writing, which - in new forms for the novel and drama - in the destitution of modern man acquires its elevation. " • 'Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it's awful' was *Jean Anouilh's* judgement on the first production of Waiting for Godot. • Waiting for Godot was famously described by Irish critic *Vivian Mercier* as a play in which ' nothing happens, twice'. • The birthday present given by Meg to Stanley in The Birthday Party is a *drum* . • The game that forms the climax of Pinter's The Birthday Party is *'blind man's buff'* .
In 1929 Beckett published his first work, a critical essay entitled “Dante... Bruno. Vico… Joyce" in the Avant Garde magazine. In which he defends Jamce Joyce
The term Comedy of Menace was coined by Drama Critic Irving Wardle. The mode of most Absurdist plays is Tragicomedy . As Nell says in Endgame , "Nothing is funnier than unhappiness. It is the most comical thing in the world . Martin Esslin cites William Shakespeare as an influence on this aspect of Absurd Drama . Shakespeare's influence is acknowledged directly in the title of Ionesco's Macbett. Cruelty and Violence is an important theme in absurdist plays . e.g in "The Room" by Harold Pinter , a blind man is brutally beaten . In The Birthday Party , the celebration becomes an interrogation and eventually abduction. In The Lesson by Ionesco , a professor frustrated by his students' inability to understand , he goes for savagely killing one or the other . Thankyou Ma' am ..really hounoured to learn from you 🙏🏻✨
There is so much in absurdity as well. There is nothing in vain. Nothing comes out of nothing. Superb video mam. Thanks a billion. Please like my previous comment also.
nobody explain these plays like you . you explain everything is like it is creating scenes in front of our eyes. you are such a gem of us. God bless you ❤️
The video gives us a clear picture of absurd literature. The way you connect the topics with real life situations is so effective in understanding the times of post war world. As we live in the time of Russian invasion of Ukraine, reading absurdist plays makes us aware of the mental condition of the people there. It is more like the character Ravi in the Malayalam novel, 'Khassakkinte Ithihasam'.
" all of us are suffering endlessly, waiting for ugc net exam to come, to pass the exam..."😆😆your sarcasm mildly decreased the intensity of human beings' miserable situation against the indifferent, hostile Universe , the sad concept proposed by Absurdism and existentialism...thank you Ma'am for these sparkling positivity as well as hugely informative videoes ...you are amazing, katy Perry's " ... beyond the archetype".
Ma'am, you really know how to put things right. Even though talking about absurdism, you are giving meaning to each and every student's life. Besides, Breath is an unforgettable play well presented!
The Primary function of Theatre of the Absurd was to depict a heightened example of ordinary people attempting to find meaning or agency in a fundamental absurd universe.
Thank you mam for bringing these vast oceans of knowledge close to us. There is absurdity all around us. human beings are absurd,their actions are more absurd. We all know ;the ultimate Truth is Death, we keep on heaping Money, Property, throughout our life and when death approaches(which is inevitable), nothing accompanies us. We forget to enjoy the present,worry about future which is so unpredictable. The Myth of Sisyphus poses a dilemma that goes to the heart of what it means to be alive. For Camus, the natural world embodies the absurd; furthermore, the complicated relationship between man and nature even makes life more absurd. Camus sees this fundamentally as a conflict: nature’s might and longevity make a kind of mockery of human life by virtue of comparison.
I have read Waiting for Godot, but after watching this beautiful explanation by you seems like I need to read it again. Intrigued by the lecture ma'am, it was beautiful.
I came late from University..that why watching late videopedia but missing you now because of you are not live now..but I believe you are now still studying something....
As you perhaps know...we are reading Harold Pinter's The Birthday Party this week in our TES reading club... We read 2 acts and I wasn't able to understand completely what was happening... what's wrong with Stanley...why Goldberg and MacCan are torturing him...but now when you explained...it's clear.. thank you ma'am ❤️
Thank you so much for this awesome video ma'am you are such a wonderful clear explanation on this topic thank you so much for this dear mam realy i am blessed to have you mam
I watched a TS Eliot video by you today . It was wonderful , especially the way you concluded it. I don't know why I find it relatable to absurdism. You said : The modernist artist should try to bring a shape and a significance to this immense panaroma of futility and anarchy that is contemporary history!🤔🤔
So here comes our insightful eve ! 🌅 For ALBERT CAMUS , world was beyond the understanding of man, so it will always remain absurd and we should accept this fact. Intriguing right!!! 🔎 👉Gonna read Waiting for Godot. Your explanation is compelling me to.
To understand death, we must first understand what it means to live. Living is not merely a physical existence; it is a psychological state as well. Most of us are afraid of living fully, and therefore, we are also afraid of dying. But if we can live without fear, without attachment, without the constant desire for security and continuity, then death becomes something entirely different.
We get the answer of Prolonged question that arises in Shakespeare's Hamlet of suicide in Waiting for Godot that's no matter how bad the things are we must go on.... 🌼
Hamm: We're not beginning to....to...mean something? Clov: Mean something! You and I, mean something! [brief laugh] Ah that's a good one! This dialogue between Hamm and Clov in Samuel Beckett's Endgame aptly represents what happens when human existence lacks meaning or purpose and communication breaks down. I think this dialogue also summerises the main theme of most of the Absurd dramas. Thank you so much ma'am for this marvellous session!♥️💓♥️💗🥰
The problem actually is humans want to give meaning to their reality which they can not as we have no such tools, we are created beings we can not give meaning to anything which we have not created. Only one answer to the meaning is GOD... He created us and tests us... Everything gets its meaning and comes to place
Udemy udemy udemy.....gonna purchase it. Just waiting to save enough pennys. I know it's worth it because it's your years of experience and you are serving it as royal ambrosial meal in our platter. 🥺🥺
Existentialism and absurdism both grapple with the concept of a meaningless universe, but they diverge in their responses to this realization. Existentialism, particularly as articulated by philosophers like Jean-Paul Sartre, posits that individuals must create their own meaning and essence through choices and actions, emphasizing personal responsibility and freedom. In contrast, absurdism, as developed by Albert Camus, highlights the inherent conflict between humanity's search for meaning and the universe's indifference. Absurdists argue that rather than creating meaning, one should embrace the absurdity of existence, acknowledging the futility of this search while still choosing to live fully and defiantly in the face of it.
The Theatre of the Absurd is a post-World War II designation for particular plays of absurdist fiction written by a number of primarily European playwrights in the late 1950s. It is also a term for the style of theatre the plays represent. The plays focus largely on ideas of existentialism and express what happens when human existence lacks meaning or purpose and communication breaks down. The structure of the plays is typically a round shape, with the finishing point the same as the starting point. Logical construction and argument give way to irrational and illogical speech and to the ultimate conclusion-silence.
Thank you🌹 so much such fine video on absurdism.. It's just chaos in absurd lit. We don't know anything, we don't do anything, we can't defend ourselves it's just Jews situation which we are going through... It's just so sad.. And today I learned about Beckett that he himself waiting for God or man when he was in war when Germany attacked on France.. I learn today that, he got this sense from that situation which he himself in it. It's just so pathetic that you are in a disaster but can't help it.. Then you only hope that someone come and rescue us it's human nature... But as they say.. . . . . . Man plans God laughs...
Dear all, This is my success story dedicated to our dear Kalyani Mam. I was attempting since 2014, everytime i lost in points difference. I passed NET this time just because of our dear Mam !!! I had reached a point in life where every hope ended, at an age of 29 still jobless and desperatly struggling behind my dream. I always dreamed to become an Assistant Professor in English. One day, i came across Mams free RU-vid videos. I was financially not well enough to get paid online courses then. The videos helped me a lot to clear the concepts. Mams explanations & examples, tips & motivation, all made the classes wonderfull! Gradually i started attending Mams Everyday @ 8 & @10 courses, Udemy lecturers and studied almost all materials Mam provided. The situations were not at all favourable. To be precise like many of us faced, exam center was at a long distance, computers jammed multiple times, questions were quite tricky. Besides these my parents were affected by covid during my exam preparation days. However i did my best under Mams guidance & motivation. Miracles occured on the result declaration day once i checked the site i couldnt believe my eyes. I passed !!! That feeling is really great! My life changed exactly from that moment. All the past pains vanished for future smiles. I attained this just because of Mam. Every year Mam has a bunch of successful students who spreads her fame and make her proud. This time i am really blessed to be one among them to share with you all my success story dedicated to our dear Kalyani Vallath Mam. Thanks a lot Mam for being the guiding light amidst the encircling gloom in our lives. May God almighty give you all blessings to continue your mission of enlightening young souls towards wisdom in the coming decades ahead !!! I am 100% sure that many of you will be writing your success stories here when next NET exam results are announced. We are all really blessed to get such an inspirational teacher to guide us. May God Bless You all to attain your dream very soon!!!
In "Waiting for Godot," Estragon is kicked by Lucky when he gets too close to him, and Lucky reacts by delivering a sudden kick to Estragon's shins. This moment highlights the absurdity and unpredictability of their interactions.
Through the absurd plays the authors presents the meaninglessness and helpless condition of human beings durings that time and also the failure of communication to express feelings and emotions.
