Why didn't they just stop waiting and go straight to Godot?
>>24973993Go straight... to where?
It was about the godii we made along the way.
dude, it's an allegory
>>24974026They could've followed one of the boys back to Godot
>>24974026to the dot
Should I read beckett in french or english?Which of his works are most essential?
Godot = GodThank me later
>>24974026Kill yourself- OP (basically)
>>24973993This is the only Beckett I've ever read. I plan to read his trilogy but I thought this was shite
>>24975459You should probably skip Beckett if you didn't like Godot, it is his best work.
>>24975475grim
>>24975477Even in his own time Beckett and other writers like Ionesco were very "you either loved them or you hated them". I think they were trying to find the absolute minimum amount of story/character needed for something to still be considered a play. They were also responding to the likes of Brecht and existing within a sort of post-war nihilism.
>>24975495Foucault credited with waiting for Godot for being the breakthrough in his thought which had hitherto orbited around "Marxism, existentialism, Freudianism"
>>24973993godot is open source and unity has a really bad licensing thing, personally i'd just recommend people write their own engine
>>24973993What in god's name is the point of reading Beckett?
>>24975510That's one of the grimmest things I've ever read.
I just got back from the Broadway show starring Neo and that other guy from Bill & Ted. I thought it was funny how shamelessly they referenced Bill & Ted throughout the show. Just not "ha ha" funny.
>>24976176Unironically more impactful than the play itself
>>24975495>They were also responding to the likes of BrechtMust have been a shitty time for theater when your choices were Beckett and Brecht
>>24975495What brecht do you recommend? I've only read the Threepenny Opera
>>24977099Probably the Caucasian Chalk Circle or Baal.
