Incredibly...ridiculous

An incredible thriller; Waiting For Godot, not. Beckett´s play will indoubetbly be placed in my Hall of Shame. Shame isn´t the correct word to describe what I felt while reading the play, but it defenitely will not be parralled with my Hall of Fame. I mean no offense to Beckett´s honorary position in the arts, but this text really wasn't for me. Despite the mind-boggling boredom, Waiting for Godot and The Stranger associated in my mind. Both books try to reflect an opinion on what society and the human-being represent. Both authors try to express their philosophy on the behavior of man, even though each idea is distinct, a message is sent.

Beckett induces perplexity into his message, he bewilders the reader by disorganizing time and reference for the reader. But the hints that he sends such as the names, Adam, Cain, etc., express the human race in a more direct fashion. Beckett underlines the "five more minutes¨ slogan that has stained society. The incapability to act on one´s will. The uselessness of society is highlighted and procrastination is defined as a daily part of society. While Camus, in his novel; places ridiculous events to represent society. His hints are embedded through Monseuir Mersault´s extraordinary actions: random murder, passionate sex but lack of love, addiction. 

It´s always interesting to garner the ideas, conceived by authors that have left a mark in history, but the way Beckett expressed his was bottom-line boring. The repetitiveness is essential for expressing the circular aspect of daily life, but Beckett´s technique proved to be monotonous and unstimulating.
