The Quest for Self in Samuel Beckett’s Drama
The Quest for Self in Samuel Beckett’s Drama

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot and Endgame, as examples of literary embodiments of specific modes of signification in the discourse of self’s identity. The experience of waiting and struggling with a pervading sense of futility, anguish and loss, and the attaining of timelessness as a technique of getting closer to the self in Beckett’s theatre have been analysed as major aspects of Beckett’s technique in the pursuit of identity.
