“Waiting for Godot”: A Comparison of the Book by Samuel Beckett, Laurel and Hardy, and Vaudeville Comedy
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page discussion of the underlying detail of these two theatrical productions as compared to the larger theatrical genre of slapstick vaudevillian comedy. Emphasizes the relationship between Laurel and Hardy and that between the two main characters of “Waiting for Godot”, Vladimir (referred to variously as Didi and Mr. Albert) Estragon. Vladimir is Hardy’s equivalent while Estragon is Laurel’s. Regardless of how annoying one character may be perceived by his alter ego, they have an unbreakable relationship which is more positive than it is negative. Regardless of how bumbling one might appear, and how controlling the other might appear, the psyches of these characters merge seamlessly into one. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
