The inner wasteland in selected later plays of Samuel Beckett

الملخص EN

The inner wasteland can be observed in Samuel Beckett's early and later plays.

His characters suffer from loss of identity, emotions, and sense of time.

They lead a life of failure, repetition, inaction, loneliness, doubt, suffering, and nothingness.

The inner wasteland includes many aspects, such as the multi and split identity, the habitual repetitive element of life, the dark sorrowful life the characters lead, lack of communicationand relations among them, their unfree, inactive condition, their foggy terrible recollections, loneliness, dryness of love, and uncertainty.

The analysis and the illustration of each aspect will show how the inner wasteland is intensified in the selected later plays of Beckett.
