    Extractions: Samuel Barclay Beckett was born at Cooldrinach in Foxrock, County Dublin, on 13 April 1906. He was the second of two sons of a middle-class Protestant couple. He studied at Earlsfort House in Dublin, and then at Portora Royal School in Enniskillen where he first began to learn French, one of the two languages in which he would write. Beckett's mother, May, also a subject of dispute among biographers, was neurotic at least and at worst bigoted, abusive, and cruel. Merely to have been born may have been the Original Sin for Beckett - "astride of a grave and a difficult birth," as a character has it in Waiting for Godot. Beckett, who began studying French in kindergarten, excelled in modern languages and athletics in English-style Protestant "public" schools and eventually at Trinity College in Dublin. He taught languages in Paris and at Trinity, but eventually quit, later complaining of moon-faced students and the absurdity of teaching what he claimed he did not know. At 17 he entered Trinity College, choosing French and Italian as his subjects. Beckett enjoyed the vibrant theater scene of post-independence Dublin, preferring revivals of J.M. Synge plays. Moreover, he had the opportunity to watch American films and discover the silent comedies of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin that would crucially influence his interest in the vaudevillian tramp.

66. Warten Auf Godot
    Zusammenfassung des St¼cks von samuel beckett.  
    http://ausloeschung.spirgi.com/godot.html
    
    Extractions: Inhalt Die Hauptfiguren des Stückes ergänzen sich gegenseitig und sind gleichzeitig voneinander abhängig. Wladimir ist der Nüchterne, Sachliche, Estragon behauptet von sich, ein Dichter zu sein, er ist launisch und träumt vor sich hin. Wladimir erinnert sich an Vergangenes, Estragon hat die Tendenz alles sehr schnell wieder zu vergessen. Vor allem Wladimir hofft, dass Godot kommen wird, Godots Erscheinen die Situation grundlegend ändert, währenddem Estragon bis zum Schluss skeptisch ist und sogar mehrmals den Namen "Godot" vergisst. Der Titel "Warten auf Godot" lässt vermuten, dass Godot eine abgeleitete Form des englischen Wortes "God" (Gott) ist. Godot ist die "Verkleinerungsform", die im Französischen ähnlich wie Pierrot von Pierre oder Charlot von Charles abgeleitet wird ( ). Wenn das Warten auf Godot ein Warten auf Gott ist, der die beiden Protagonisten Wladimir und Estragon erlösen soll, ergibt sich eine denkbare Erklärung: Die Menschen streben auf einen Gott hin, der sie erlöst. Die Verheissung durch den Jungen bedeutete eine mögliche Metapher für das "Bodenpersonal Gottes" ( ). Der Begriff "Gott" beinhaltet verschiedenste Implikationen und Unklarheiten. Während dem elendiglichen Warten und der ewigen Ungewissheit, bleibt einzig und allein die Hoffnung, die zeitweise in Hoffnungslosigkeit überschlägt. Warten, harren auf etwas, umfasst die Hauptthematik des Stückes und ist Teil des menschlichen Lebens. Im Leben warten wir ständig auf etwas. Godot vertritt den Gegenstand dieses Wartens, ein Ereignis, eine Person, den Tod oder eben Gott. Im 'Akt des Wartens' vergeht die Zeit. Das Leben ist dauernden Veränderungen unterworfen - "the only constant since the beginning of time is change" (

69. Beckett's Prose Fiction
    Discussion of the postmodernity of the author's prose fictions. By Brian Finney.

    Extractions: will have been done ," becomes a unique event describing its own process of coming into being. Silence features large in his earliest fiction, "Assumption" (a short story, 1929), "Dream of Fair to Middling Women" (a novel written in 1932, published 1983), More Pricks Than Kicks (a novel, or ten connected short stories, 1934), and "A Case in a Thousand" (a short story, 1934). In "Assumption" the male protagonist is locked in a self-imposed silence. After he has met a woman who seduces him, a lifetime's suppressed scream escapes from him that sweeps her aside and leads to his death, "fused with the cosmic discord." Here in miniature is described the fate awaiting Belacqua, the anti-hero of "Dream" and More Pricks . Like his namesake in Dante's Purgatorio , Belacqua aspires to stasis and silence. Inevitably this makes him unlikable (he is constantly escaping social obligations) and uninteresting in conventional novelistic terms. As in "Assumption" sexuality is closely linked to death, figurative and literal. Sexual love means exile from the self. It is also likely to result in that unforgivable crime - bringing another unfortunate human being into this purgatorial life. So Beckett from the start offers us an anti-hero in an anti-novel that scorns the conventions of romance. Throughout both Belacqua narratives the narrator plays an obtrusive, metafictional role. He comments on his own and others' fictional structures. "The only unity in this story," he interjects, "is, please God, an involuntary unity." He reminds us (also in "Dream") of the fictional status of his invented characters: "There is no real Belacqua, it is to be hoped not indeed, there is no such person." He shares with his readers his authorial manipulations of character and event, saying of Belacqua, "What shall we make him do now, what would be the correct thing for him to think for us?" At the same time Beckett plays tricks on his readers by showing his narrator to be unreliable, inconsistent, and deceitful. By the end of

    Extractions: WAITING FOR GODOT A synopsis and analysis of the play by Samuel Beckett This document was originally published in Dionysus in Paris . Wallace Fowlie. New York: Meridian Books, Inc., 1960. p. 210-214. Purchase Waiting for Godot T HE plot of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot is simple to relate. Two tramps are waiting by a sickly looking tree for the arrival of M. Godot. They quarrel, make up, contemplate suicide, try to sleep, eat a carrot and gnaw on some chicken bones. Two other characters appear, a master and a slave, who perform a grotesque scene in the middle of the play. A young boy arrives to say that M. Godot will not come today, but that he will come tomorrow. The play is a development of the title, Waiting for Godot . He does not come and the two tramps resume their vigil by the tree, which between the first and second day has sprouted a few leaves, the only symbol of a possible order in a thoroughly alienated world. The two tramps of Beckett, in their total disposition and in their antics with hats and tight shoes, are reminiscent of Chaplin and the American burlesque comedy team. Pozzo and Lucky, the master and slave, are half vaudeville characters and half marionettes. The purely comic aspect of the play involves traditional routines that come from the entire history of farce, from the Romans and the Italians , and the red-nosed clown of the modern circus. The language of the play has gravity, intensity, and conciseness. The long speech of Lucky, a bravura passage that is seemingly meaningless, is strongly reminiscent of Joyce and certain effects in

    Extractions: ENDGAME A synopsis and analysis of the play by Samuel Beckett This document was originally published in Dionysus in Paris . Wallace Fowlie. New York: Meridian Books, Inc., 1960. p. 214-6. Purchase Endgame S AMUEL Beckett's second play, Endgame The title of the play is a term used in chess to designate the third and final part of the game. This technical meaning is not recognized by most of the French. It was perhaps chosen for its indeterminateness, for its capacity to designate the end of many things, the end of life itself. The approach to "the end" is indeed the principal theme of all of Beckett's writings. Two of the characters, Nagg and Nell, live in ash cans, the covers of which they raise from time to time in order to speak. But most of the dialogue is carried on between their son, Hamm, who is paralytic, blind, and confined to a wheelchair, and his male attendant, Clov. Even more than in the first play ( Waiting for Godot ), Beckett in Endgame indicates with great precision, as if he were writing a musical score, the pauses between speeches. This is unusual for the French style of acting. If observed in the performance of the play, the effect may well enhance the painfulness of waiting, the emptiness of existence, the expectancy of collapse, of a manifestation of total despair. The innumerable pauses between speeches when the stage is silent underscore the anguish in each of the four characters and the nudity of the words themselves when they are spoken. Clov, throughout the action of

    Extractions: Reference Desk Encyclopedia Beckett, Samuel Pronunciation Key Beckett, Samuel , Anglo-French playwright and novelist, b. Dublin. Beckett studied and taught in Paris before settling there permanently in 1937. He wrote primarily in French, frequently translating his works into English himself. His first published novel, Murphy (1938), typifies his later works by eliminating the traditional elements of plot, character, and setting. Instead, he presents the experience of waiting and struggling with a pervading sense of futility. The anguish of persisting in a meaningless world is intensified in Beckett's subsequent novels including Watt Molloy Malone Dies (1951), and The Unnamable How It Is (1961); and The Lost Ones (1972). In his theater of the absurd, Beckett combined poignant humor with an overwhelming sense of anguish and loss. Best known and most controversial of his dramas are Waiting for Godot (1952) and Endgame (1957), which have been performed throughout the world. Beckett was awarded the 1969 Nobel Prize in Literature.
