The Ambiguity of Self and Entropy in Samuel Beckett's Plays

AbstractThe question of self and identity has become a great existential problem for the modern man. Many an intellectuals, in their endless search for true selves for presenting a vivid vision of self have tried different procedures. On the line of disambiguating self, Samuel Beckett, a prominent playwright in the Theatre of the Absurd, via violating the already established rules of drama and creating entropy has tried to deal with this issue. In this research, Samuel Beckett's techniques in his major works Waiting for Godot and Endgame have been demonstrated to show how he has endeavoured to help man deal with his ambiguity of self through the creation of utmost communicative entropy within which man would be left alone to come up with answers for his existential problems. His creation of extreme entropy, possible only in an open system drama, has paved the way for the man to settle down his existential problems
