This research paper: A 12 page essay that discusses this play by Samuel Beckett in detail. The compelling question of the play is whether or not Clov will actually leave Hamm, as he threatens to do throughout the narrative. Some interpretations of the play see the characters as being trapped in a cyclical existence that has no true meaning due to its repetitive nature. Others have posited that due to actions in the play that seem irrevocable, there is a possibility for freedom. Examination of the play, however, the evidence that favors an interpretation that the characters are trapped in a meaningless and pointless existence is much stronger than any indication that there is an escape from their private hell. Over and over again, Beckett focuses on the farcical nature of the characters' repetitious behavior, which creates rituals of living that serve no purpose and simply keep them going toward all life's ultimate destiny, which is death. No additional sources cited.
