Dialogues on Beckett: Whatever Happened to God? (Anthem Studies in Theatre and Performance) by Antoni Libera, Janusz Pyda
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 455 KB
Overview: Dialogues on Beckett' is a collection of 12 conversations about 12 plays by Samuel Beckett, discussions about the meaning of life and the universe between an agnostic and a Christian, based on a close reading of the text. It includes a judicious balance of basic information about Beckett's life and work, brief sketches of some interpretations of his plays and a few words on the critical reception of each, and sets out some possible criticisms of the vision of the world expressed in them. These last are particularly interesting given the many references and allusions to Christian theology to be found in the plays. They are, admittedly, heavily ironic, but they testify to the importance in Beckett's thought of the Christian vision of the universe and the eschatological dimension of human existence.
Beckett, through the radicalism of his thought and his crystalline and very distinctive style, succeeds better perhaps than anyone else in getting at the heart of the disquiet which has marked our age, and he identifies its cause as a metaphysical transformation which is taking place before our eyes. That transformation is the disenchantment of the world. A number of factors have contributed to it; the progress of science is just one among many.
