Abstract AR
تصور مسرحية "نهاية اللعبة" لساموبل بيكت و "الأزمنة القديمة" لهارولد بنتر الإنسان المعاصر في أقسى حالاته, فهو إنسان يائس وضائع و مضطرب يعيش في دوامة من الأسئلة المحيرة, من أكون؟ و ماذا أكون؟ و كيف ستكون النهاية؟ كلها أسئلة في محاولة منه لإثبات وجوده في عالم زمني مضطرب.
لكلا الكاتبين فلسفتهما في التعامل مع فكرة الزمن فهما يعتبران الزمن هو المشكلة و هو الحل.
Abstract EN
After reading the two fine plays Endgame by Samuel Beckett and Old Times by Harold Pinter, one sees that the two depicts modern man who turned to the most passive of all, bewildered, disillusioned, purposeless and dislocated.
A man who is bewildered of simple questions: who am I? what am I ? what will be the end? They are endless questions in an attempt to assert himself in a dislocated temporality.
Temporality is a direct echo of the existential impasse of the modern world.
Both plays assert that selfhood is fragmented and fashioned by this impasse.
Hence dislocation of the temporal is an assertion of the fragmented self of their vanishing characters.
