Interpretation of Breath by Samuel Beckett

Breath by Samuel Becket

Interpretation of short play of Breath by Samuel Beckett. He was an Irish novelist, playwright, poet, short story writer, literary translator and theatre director. He wrote in English and French languages. He is one of the last modernist writers and one of the key figures in what Martin Esslin called the ' Theatre of Absurd.

Absurd:- Philosophy meaningless: lacking any meaning that would give purpose to life.

Here we are watching short videos of breath. In these play words and languages are not used by the writer. Some clues and symbols are uses like voices of babies, mobile, books, watch, sunrise and set. Background sounds are also an atrocity and dreadful. Only 30-second play how it is probable? We are showing that and we felt like they are nothingness, meaninglessness and no purpose but we minutely observed the things and gadgets so clues are a must in available in those videos.

Existentialism: A philosophical movement begun in the 19th century and centred on individual existence. It requires people to take responsibility for their own actions and shape their own destinies.

There are other techniques also through which, one can explain all the thing what Virginia Woolf wanted to say, but the technique of Stream of Consciousness seems the best to explain as the whole novel is highly psychological where the complexity of relationships as well as the problems in day to day life with near relations due to such circumstances are being tried to explore by

Thinking Activity: In the Context of A Grain of Wheat. How is the Native represented by colonizers? Do a character study of Friday in Robinson Crusoe. Throughout the history of mankind, there has always been an individual or a group of individuals who have deemed himself to be superior. This master-slave relationship has occurred skin colour.

English people and the English language are strongly used, therefore, natives civilization does not understand the English language.
