Keywords: Samuel Beckett; theatre of the absurd; lifelessness; nihilism; existentialism;
Summary/Abstract: Beyond its abstractions, Beckett’s theatre offers a sense of certainty, however relative and feeble: from the author’s own relationship with history to his relationship with his own characters, from the relationship between those characters and divinity to their relationship with themselves, the tension is constant. The inner dynamics of Beckett's characters remains in a state of permanent crisis. Therefore, the struggle between human relationships and demiurgical will is a never ending spectacle that the reader is forced to witness.
