The play Hamlet‚ by William Shakespeare‚ is truly very deep and complex‚ with many different layers and aspects to it. It also contains a notable phrase: “To be or not to be.” This phrase is quite famous‚ and here it is used during Hamlet’s soliloquy where he asks important questions about his purpose and life.

Samuel Beckett described his Waiting for Godot as a tragicomedy. To what extent is this is an accurate description? Would you say there is more tragedy than comedy or a mixture of both? Through the use of many linguistic‚ structural and comic features‚ Samuel Beckett’s Waiting For Godot successfully places a wayfaring line between the two genres of tragedy and comedy. With the opening showing the two main characters Vladimir (Didi) and Estragon (Gogo) in a barren setting with useless props such as
