الملخص EN
Samuel Beckett‘s, Act Without Words ( henceforth, AWWI), is one of the few slighted works in the Beckett canon.
Often ignored, the play generally did not fare well even with those critics who do treat it.
Ruby Cohn(1962 : 247 ) dismisses the work as ,almost too explicit,, and Ihab Hassan(1967 : 192 ) notes that the play seems ‘a little too obvious and pat.‘ John Fletcher and John Spurling (1972 : 118 ) concur: ''compared to Godot, ‘ Act Without Words I is .
.
.
over-explicit, over-emphasized and even, unless redeemed by its performer, so unparticularized as to verge on the banal.'' Then, AWWI's directness (signs , e.
g.
cubes, rope, scissors , carafe, man, hands, sun , desert, dazzling light, whistle etc.
) is almost a source of embarrassment for critics and has prompted some forced interpretation.
Martin Esslin ( 1964 : 38 ) argues that the protagonist is ‘drawn to the pursuit of illusory objectives .
.
.." Ruby Cohn ( 1962 : 247) echoes the view, suggesting that the ‘sustenance and tools are man’s own invention, and his frustration the result of the impossibility of ever being able to reach what may be a mirage." But the objects certainly seem substantial.
The protagonist stands on the cubes and engages in a tug-of-war with a force outside himself, presumably the same force which threw him on stage .
The scissors and rope may be man‘s own inventions, but they are nonetheless real; if they were not, the exterior force would have little reason to confiscate them.
