The absurd, a very well-known term in the era of modern theater, has played a very important role in the field of theater. Its importance and presence in modern theater has created a different and specific space in the theater world, widely known as the “theater of the absurd.” The theater of the absurd was given its place in the 1960s by the American critic Martin Esslin. With the aim of making the public aware that there is no real order or meaning in the world of their existence. This is an attempt to bring the audience closer to reality and help them understand the meaning of their life. Samuel Beckett is one of those writers who emerged in the world of absurdist drama after World War II. The current absurdist movement emerged in France as a rebellion against the traditional values ​​and beliefs of Western culture and literature. Drama theater began with existentialist writers such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus and eventually other writers such as Eugène Ionesco, James Joyce and Samuel Beckett etc. began to enter the theatrical world of Adsurdism. The absurd drama, Waiting for Godot, is one of those dramas that critics highlight when they talk about the theater of the absurd. Waiting for Godot was written and first performed in 1954. Waiting for Godot is one of those dramas that had a huge effect on audiences because of its strange and novel conventions. The drama challenged audiences to make sense of an unintelligible world. The heart of the piece is basically about "getting through the day", meaning that when tomorrow comes, we will have the strength to continue with all the enthusiasm. Ideally, Godot is a play in two acts,...... middle of paper.... ..so to pass the time, the two vagabonds indulge in one or another senseless activity, talking without stop, joke, protest and question. The theme of absurdity can also be judged by the structure of the piece. There is no change in the plot and the actions carried out by the two characters, no change in the setting. The only thing the audience can get a sense of is that both characters are waiting and waiting, there is no beginning, middle and end, like in other plays. The structure continues as follows in the first act:• the two wanderers wait• two active people pass by• the messenger brings news• these two wanderers wait again. There is therefore no development in the actions of the play. Rather, it signifies a lack of meaning in the piece. Works Cited Beckett, Samuel, Waiting for Godot, Faber and Faber Ltd, 2010. Print.
