The Function of the Narrator in Slaughterhouse 5 A narrator is an essential element in every narrative, taking on the responsibility of telling the story. This central role is in the control the narrator has over the story, in terms of perspective and pace, as well as the sequence in which events are related to the reader. In the limitations imposed by the view presented to the reader, the narrator is able to address the issues and concerns of the novel. In Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse 5, the narrator

When Lucky and Pozzo, the strangers they know quite well, fall down and need help getting up, Didi and Gogo debate for a long time what they should do, but eventually decide on helping them up. They find meaning in their situation, as helping someone who has asked for

In the tragic play Waiting for Godot, Samuel Beckett uses juxtaposition to develop a comparison between two contrasting concepts and characters such as the themes of tragedy and comedy as well as the characters Vladimir, Estragon, Pozzo, and Lucky. This comparison supports and controls the pacing of the play, as well as accentuating the essential elements in human conditions during 1948, such as, the difficulty in establishing any sort of close relations between people and also the kind of status

It's safer” proving that he is unable to think of a way out of their misery (12). With the entrance of Pozzo and Lucky, the symmetrical division further cleaves into four, with Estragon-Vladimir representing the inherent need for companionship and Pozzo and Lucky the symbolic need to dominate others. Vladimir and Estragon’s friendship is vital to their situation, whereas Pozzo and Lucky’s relationship functions on a bizarre dominate-submissive plain. In several instances, Vladimir helps

A humanistic view suggests that human beings have always tries to improve their lives and follow their dreams. Vladimir and Estragon spent their time

those of act I. The play is about two tramps, Vladimir and Estragon, who wait by a country road near a tree. They wait for Godot although they do not know him.

The author would have us believe that time is meaningless, that repetition rules all, that inertia is manifest and human life is pointless. This idea that human life lacks meaning and purpose and that humans live in an indifferent universe is often associated with Existentialist writers like Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre

When performed, Estragon’s nihilistic way of thinking could cause great harm to the actor, similarly to what happened to Ben Platt while playing Evan in the musical Dear Evan Hansen. While it is important for actors to perform and express the different emotions of the characters, it is important for them to have a clear mind when they step on stage. Estragon’s constant suggestion of, “Why don’t we hang ourselves?” (Beckett 83) along with his overall pessimistic attitude towards humanity show how

entirely of their time waiting for someone who they do not know will arrive. Estragon and Vladimir know very little of this being named Mr. Godot. The play continues on in Act 1 as new characters are introduced such as Pozzo and Lucky. While having a conversation as to who Mr. Godot is with Pozzo, Estragon states, “ … we hardly know him.” (Beckett 15) and also that he might never even recognize Mr. Godot as he says, "Personally I wouldn't know him if I ever saw him” (Beckett 15). This portrays to the audience

the desire to bring books to the movie theatre is easy to understand given that most box-office successes are movies based on books.

Therefore, there is no specific meaning other than the one the audience member creates for themselves. It is

Albert Camus's novel, “The Stranger”, and Samuel Beckett's play, “Waiting for Godot” have many differences and similarities.

In the book, he is an absurdist who is very indifferent to everything if it doesn’t affect him physically. Also, he only believes and cares about himself. Furthermore, the second piece of literature, “Waiting for Godot”, is a play that focuses on two people who wait for
