Waiting for Godot. A disparate text?

Viac o knihe

The paper explores the complex meanings and contradictions within Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot," highlighting its connection to late modernist bourgeois ideology. It employs Post-Structuralist Marxist theories from Louis Althusser and Pierre Macherey, focusing on the concept of a decentred text as discussed in Macherey's work, "A Theory of Literary Production." The analysis emphasizes how the play's gaps, silences, and absences reveal deeper ideological implications, inviting readers to reconsider the text's significance in a broader socio-political context.
