PARAGRAPH:

This play is very unusual compared to most literature poems, definitely very different than Macbeth. However, one big difference in this play is that there is not an explicit climax present. Nothing really tells you that, yes this is the climax, or let's say the highest peak of the play. I guess this is what makes this play so interesting, because it jumps around to different scenes and does not really follow the common literature structure.But, I also personally feel that this nontraditional structure and nontraditional personalities of the characters makes this play even more tempting to watch or even read. The impact this play has had on me is that it caused me to have an open mind and realize that even this type of story or structure is acceptable. A play or story does not need to be traditional for it to mean something. Beckett has portrayed a great play as well as example to all the endless possibilities writing can bring. I also feel that the way Beckett utilized different symbolic figures in the play had a deep effect on the reader. Even the way, the play began with the setting of a dark room, this instantly began to portray a mood of loneliness or darkness. For instance, the author makes readers feel how trapped these characters are in this one room. I think this broad-minded way of writing is a great concept and does have abstract effects on the reader.
