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.

Gardi Department of the English, MKBU Refugee Mother and Child by Chinua Achebe Chinua Achebe was very well-known for his work on post-colonialism; his upbringing in southeastern Nigeria made his childhood a firsthand experience into the world of colonialism, and has fuelled such works as Things Fall Apart, the most well-known work of African literature today.
