3,443 words, approx. 12 pages
 'Theatre of Absurd' is one branch of world drama where the form, characters and the central story were almost lost. But this loss of structure operated as a symbol of the anarchy that the dramatist of this genre wanted to portray. Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot is a cult drama in this genre. This essay examines various aspects of the play.

The Use of Repetition as a Symmetrical Structural Device in Waiting for Godot
1,492 words, approx. 5 pages
 The structure is one of the most important aspects of a play and should revolve around the play's "proper tautness" or how structurally sound it is. Waiting for Godot does not have an exposition, rising action, climax, denouement, or even a conclusion. As a matter of fact, we know by the first line, "Nothing to be done," that this play will have relatively little action.
