| Abstract | ||
| One of the distinctive features of the absurd plays, which emerged in the 1950s at the hands of some major characters like Albert Camus, Eugene Ionesco, Jean Genet and Samuel Beckett, is the unusual structure. Waiting for Godot (1954) has a distinctive kind of structure. Its structure is circular. It has no logical exposition or resolution. The situation is usually static; nothing changes and nothing is solved for there is no solution to the problems of man in the hopeless world. The present study aims to shed light upon such kind of structure as far as Waiting for Godot is concerned. Usually, the term structure is applied to the general plan or outline of any artistic work. It is the relation of the parts or elements to the whole work. Alternatively, we can define structure as “the planned frame work of a piece of literature.”(1) In drama, the structure is the logical division of the action as well as the division into acts and scenes. | ||
