Full Metal Jacket Stanley Kubrick

682 wordsAs stated by Cohn in her article Endgame': The Gospel According to Sad Sam Beckett there is much evidence given relating to the many comparable instances between the Bible and Beckett's Endgame. With this interpretation as well as the discussion about the significance of the title, and the constant reference to the end of the world, it is nearly impossible to see Beckett's Endgame as anything other than a post-apocalyptic tale.
