- Title
Endgame Incarcerated: Prison Structures in Beckett's Play.
- Authors
Tworek, Agnieszka
- Abstract
The article analyzes the spatial framework of the play "Endgame," by Samuel Beckett. It describes that it evokes prison architecture, its cruelty and its daily routine. Its quartet of characters vegetates in a non-domesticated outlying environment and their relationship is much weaker than the interaction between each hero and his or her surrounding space. Moreover, the atmosphere of imprisonment is rendered by the extensive stage directions and verbalized in the lines the characters utter.
