Death's Dream Kingdom Understanding Death and Despair in the Theatre of the Absurd

Author Name: Sakti Sekhar Dash | Format: Paperback | Genre : Reference & Study Guides | Other Details

This work aims to study the representation of human existence in Absurd drama. The dramatists like Beckett, Ionesco, Pinter and Stoppard tried to represent the futility of the human condition in the post-war world. They perceived life to be a cesspool of misery and suffering, as individuals led alienated and isolated existences. The playwrights tried to illustrate the inevitability of death, and the end seemed a welcome thing in the face of a life without meaning.
