Abstract

Bu çalışma, şimdiki zamanda boşluk hissine kapılan ve bu boşluğu doldurmak için bir kurtarıcı hayalını kuran insanların algısını sorgulamaktadır. Bu konu, Samuel Beckett’in Godot’yu Beklerken drama oyununu vasıtasıyla ve sonuçsuz görünen insanlığın dramatik durumunu—düşündürücü ve sembolik biçimde—soyut olarak sergilenmektedir. Beckett’in derin sessizliğe bürünmüş anlatım biçimi, sahnenin ötesinde yüzeysel bir Beckettvari tiyatro deneyimdir. Bu yeniden başlamaya dönük saf gaye, değişime karşı muhtemel duygusallığı bir kenara itmektedir. Başarısız anlatım biçimi olarak bilinen tutarsızlık, kopukluk ve süreksizlikten faydalanan Beckett, Godot’yu Beklerken eserinde, kavramsallaştırılmış yaşamın ötesinde, insanlığa dayanışma mesajını sunmaktadır. Evrensel yozlaşının habercisi olan Beckett, insanın uçarı bir yaşam içinde insanlık dışı ilişkilerini teşhir etmek için, yaratıcılığını kullanmaktadır. Beckett, toplumları anlamlı temeller vasıtasıyla eşitliyerek, günümüzde tutunmak için mücadele eden herkesin sorunlarını tasvir etmektedir. Varoluşun absürtlüğünü tasvir eden Beckett, drama vasıtasıyla, felsefi absürt ve devamlılığın belirliliğini, sorgulayarak, sergilemektedir.

The Beckettian Narration of Absurdity in Waiting For Godot

Abstract

This study questions whether the hollow of muddy people with a hollow and hope for a savior in the current state of the world is significant. The debate polls a thought-provoking result for the purview of no end in sight through a query of the drama play, Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett, which abstractly demonstrates a symbolic situation of humanity dramatically. Beckettian theater, deeply immersed in the constant silence of Beckett’s narration, is a shallowed experience beyond the stage. Following the pure consummation of Beckett, a twirl for a resumption is potentially tossing aside the sentimentalization of looking backward. Waiting for Godot comprises a message of solidarity of human beings by keeping a loof the conceptualization of a life that is no longer portrayed in the failed form of narration boundaries due to the lack of coherence, rupture, and discontinuity. Beckett, the messenger of universal degeneration, assigns ingenuity to expose human beings’ inhuman relations in a frivolous life. He equalizes societies with meaningful essentials and portrays the problems of anyone struggling to get a foothold today. Imaging the absurdity of existence, he demonstrates philosophical absurdity and questions a continuous perpetual certainty in the realm of drama.
