Theater Of Absurd

Anti-Language

• No fixed pattern

• Characters talk disorderly What the character has said is not the words that his partner has asked or wanted to get. Sometimes a character asks his partner something, but the partner says another thing that is irrelevant to what they are talking about.

  • Non sequitur

• what they have said cannot be understood by the audience.

Anti-drama

it is more difficult for us to understand the world from a normal point of view. The audience and the readers fail to identify with the characters in the play so people find it humorous and funny.

Anti-Plot

The plot is scattered and fractured. It is surprising or obscure and most of the time it has no end or result. For example - in waiting for Godot, the audience cannot understand the ending of the play; they don't know what they are waiting for and what they are talking about. We just know they are having an endless conversation and endlessly waiting.

Themes
