I just don’t get Samuel Beckett.
I’ve seen some of his plays, I’ve read about him.
I just don’t get the acclaim.
I walked out of Endgame at the intermission. It was boring.
Why is he so highly revered?
How do you feel about existentialism in general?
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you dearly wished something, anything would happen but got nothing ?
Extrapolate to your whole life. Pointlessness is the point.
It has never had any relevance to me.
How sad.
Somebody owes me A LOT of money.
If that’s how you feel, then Beckett is not for you, basically.
Personally, I find his plays extremely cathartic.
It depends on how you see it. It can be a relief in a way. Just letting go of all illusions.
Besides, not all art has to be happy.
