Aesthetic Elements of the Absurd in E. Ionesco and S. Beckett’s Drama

Summary/Abstract: Ionesco and Beckett’s drama and, to a larger extent, the drama of the absurd, is often considered as a turning point in theatre history. Despite the significant differences pertaining to the aesthetic principles underlying the creation of the two dramatists, the convergences are quite abundant. More precisely, we are witnessing two different styles making use of common expressive means and reaching, each in its own way, the same results. This study will focus specifically on those means that would validate the existence of the style or the aesthetics of the absurd.
