A reader as myself would hesitate to review this play which requires the schollar. So, last having read existential philosphy 30 years ago, my impressions serve as my limited contribution. End Game qualifies as unique illustration of a manner of thinking, and as such I would agree this play powerfully contributes. What more dramatic way to illustrate hopelessness,purposelessness,and every deficiency than this play, the ultimate absurdity. In fact it is somewhat ridiculous to continue reading on after the first couple of pages. The content here is that we are without content, the epitome so to speak of meaninglessness. Is this some great drama? One would suspect many ordinary writers capable or more capable of the dramatic and written achievement, and so I have difficulty proclaiming excessive fame to this author on this play. End Game seems more an illustration or example than an great achievement; a progression (purgation?)rather than tour de force; a segue of philosophy to the stage, but falling short of quality I normally would subscribe to a great work of art.

I'm currently a student at a college in Baltimore Maryland. One of my assignments, given to me in my Intro. to Drama class, was to read the play "Endgame" ,by Samuel Beckett, that was found in my textbook. Overall, I thought that the play was different, well written and intriguing. The reason it was different to me was because of the way I pictured it in my head. With Nagg and Nell in the bins and Clov right beside Hamm and Hamm being pushed around the room made me image it incorrectly in my mind. I pictured a dark room in a basement of an old and cold castle with almost no light allowed to go in to the room. And with Hamm in the center of the room and Clov on one side of him and Nagg and Nell on his other. The way that the play is written is not the way I'm use too. I felt that the play went very fast. Yes I know that there were a lot of pauses in the dialog to break everything up, but it seem to flow quickly. I also think that it had to do with the conversations between Hamm and Clov. Samuel Beckett does not use a lot of tone changes in this play. Clov's voice seems not to change at all. his voice to me would sound old, tried, weak and overworked. As for Nagg and Nell their tone does not change during the whole play. I pictured their voices as very slow, calm, tried and weak. Hamm's tone does change during the play. It happens mostly when he is giving orders to Clov. Hamm's voice to me sounds sharp full of character, strong, wise and powerful. The play really intrigued me because I was wondering what the end would bring. I was a little bit confused on what was going to happening in the end of it all. Would Clov leave Hamm, would Hamm die, would the world end, does the sun come up and change things to the perfect ending I was hoping for. I guess I 'll never no the whole end to the play. I was very surprised about how much I really liked the "Endgame". And I plan to read more things by Samuel Beckett.

The sheerly pessimistic viewpoint in this play gives us an interesting view on life. It poses questions which we may not normally consider in our everyday life. It makes us question our inscentive (sp?) for staying where we are in life. However, Beckett's view on life is so deeply pessimistic that I would not want to spend my life in sad thoughts like that. I encourage thought and question, but going about all my life saying that there is no God and no point to life just doesn't appeal to me. Well, I hope this helps.

Hysterical but Absurd
This book was the ideal for me. It is so random and weird, it must be one of the funniest books I have ever read. People are too harsh on Beckett's style of writing.

Funny if performed exactly as written
This play appears to demonstrate a great deal of situations that appeal and connect will all of us. Despite being absurdist, it is performed in 1 room, like realisim. Lesen Sie weiter...

a fusion of shakespears most intense characters
Hamm has all the depth of an abyss. I'd love to see a b&w film of Endgame. Sam said it depended on the power of the text to claw. He was right. Lesen Sie weiter...

The personae in Endgame, 1957, indicate the real theme - the parents should be killed. Nell and Nagg, Hamm's parents, represent the final deflation of Beckett's Family romance... Lesen Sie weiter...
