Godot Is God Vladimir And Estragon Pozzo
860 wordsOne of the most ambiguous aspects of Beckett's play is the identity of Godot. If the reader analyzes all the Biblical allusions, it is quite easy to say that Godot is God.

(Every day, a messenger says that Godot will come...

Titus Andronicus Revenge Tragedy
707 wordsTitus Andronicus There is an opinion that Shakespeare couldnt write Titus Andronicus. The arguments against Shakespeare's authorship seem to be not only esthetic. The person, who wrote this tragedy, piled up plenty of murders and villainous acts. The tragedy is full of grandiloquent phrases, false pathos, clamorous and garish recitation. Psychological motivation of the characters actions is either primitive, or absent. It is difficult to deny these facts. Titus Andronicus indeed has nothing in c...
