EXHAUSTION IN MODERN DRAMA: THE MISSING THESIS IN THE DIALECTICS OF THE THEATRE OF THE ABSURD

S K Mishra, None

By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

For an absurd playwright, his sense of being is his subject matter and it is this projection of the author’s inner world that determines the theatre of the absurd’s non-realistic form and that essentially separates drama form existential drama. The strength of absurd drama also reveals its weakness which we perceive in its over-intellectualisation and separation of subject and the object in life and drama. This results in a feeling of exhaustion and a missing vitality in terms of verbal and imagistic dramatisation.
