That scene was interesting as it used comedy in contrast to the horror of the war. It started with a joke of how Floss looked like a horse but then the tension increased again when suddenly David soldier said to Albert “ I put my foot in

A major theme in this play would be pain and injuries. This happens many times throughout the play and in each scene either

A short play is usually filled with a theatrical energy of diverse anthologies. The time allotted may be only ten or fifteen minutes, so it must be able to capture and engage the audience with some dramatic tension, exciting action, or witty humor. Just as in a short story, a great deal of the explanation and background is left for the reader or viewer to discover on their own. Because all the details are not explicitly stated, each viewer interprets the action in their own way and each experience is unique from someone else viewing the same play.

The playwright’s use of shifts in mood and characterisations contributes to his intention to make Stanhope admired by the audience.

Structure: The play is organized into two parts and a short introduction including the setting of the story. The play occurs in the present and proceeds chronically.

Imagining is better than seeing. Within this essay, I aim to discuss Endgame, a play written by Samuel Beckett.

The creator's detailed instructions for each scene, provide a limited range of possibilities of how one can imagine each dialogue, while still keeping it open to the imagination regarding the emotions one can experience. Beckett has successfully stimulated my imagination and took me on a journey of various sentiments.
