The Survey of Existential and Social Motives at the Post Modern Theatre
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
One major factor whose trace can be clearly seen in the plays of both Beckett and Pinter given rise its own share in the creation of man's existential problems, no doubt, is attributed to the ever-increasing impact of technology on our life. Alongside the provision of solutions for many diseases, creation of many amenities for better, safe, and comfortable life, it has had great changes on all aspects of our life. One major contribution may be the impression it has left on our identity and the reality of our existence. Such prevalent views, no doubt, have everything at their mercy even the aspect which is more existential in nature, that is the question of man's self and identity at the shadow of these advances in technology. The present study deals with the existential and social motives giving rise to the problems of man at the post modern era in the plays of Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter and reveals how they are reflected at the post modern theatre. Keywords: Beckett and Pinter, impression, modern theatre, social motives.
