Summary/Abstract: In this essay I intended to analyzed the visual aspects from one of the most imagistic play written by Samuel Beckett called Endgame. Starting with the idea of a cyclic time the author uses it and therefore, everything in the play has a certain repeatability, the actions can be counted. The situations can also be interpreted in a key of a ritual - an expression of the characters routine, of the humanity left adrift. In Endgame the ending does not really exist, the end is already there.
