What might have been the original appeal of the Theater of the Absurd as presented in Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot?
What will be an ideal response?
Essay responses should include these points:
• Waiting for Godot contains stage conventions that were new when the play first appeared; the stage is essentially barren during the entire play.
• The play progresses with no progress, forcing the audience to come to terms with the reality of a non-plot.
• The play contains no development, no conclusion, and no resolution.
• In an attempt to mirror life, it is illogical and irrational.
