Happy Days by Samuel Beckett The play ’Happy Days’ is a humorously dark and ambiguous play. The play is primarily a one-woman show.

Many Ethical dilemmas arise for Hoyt and this presents questions for him whether or not to follow along with Harris‚ and if his methodology for ridding the streets in South

Remains of the day‚ as a novel‚ is a unique example of how a story of a personal fate of one man can reflect on such large‚ historical and social scale.
