Abstract

The phenomenon underlying this study is the increasing crisis of meaning and existential uncertainty in modern human life. This condition is reflected in Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot and Endgame, both of which portray characters trapped in cycles of waiting, repetition, and existential emptiness. Although previous studies have examined these plays individually within the Theatre of the Absurd, there is a lack of comparative research that systematically analyzes how absurdity is differently constructed in both works. This study addresses that gap. This research aims to analyze the forms and representations of absurdity through a comparative approach. Using a descriptive-qualitative method, the study applies textual analysis focusing on dialogue, dramatic structure, characterization, and setting. The findings reveal that Waiting for Godot represents absurdity through endless waiting, repetitive dialogue, and unclear identity and purpose. In contrast, Endgame depicts a static, post-apocalyptic environment shaped by dominance, dependency, and the awareness of an inevitable ending. While both plays convey existential meaninglessness, they differ in the intensity of their conflicts, the dynamics of their relationships, and their symbolic representations of space and time. This study contributes by offering a comparative perspective that deepens understanding of absurdity in Beckett’s works and highlights their critique of post–World War II existential conditions.

Abstract

This research study aims to analyze the similarities and differences in the storyline in the drama scripts Amplop-amplop Laknat by Asmudin and Penyesalan by Nora Adeliana. This study uses a qualitative approach using the content analysis method with a network analysis technique that includes three components, namely: 1. data reduction; simplifying the drama script, 2. data presentation; conducting structural analysis of the drama script, and 3. withdrawal; drawing conclusions about the plot and presentation of the plot in the drama script using a comparative study. The data collection method is carried out using the literature observation technique. The collected data are analyzed using a structural study of the work's intrinsic elements to be studied more deeply using a comparative study of the storyline. The study results show that both drama scripts have similarities in terms of story ideas and differences in terms of the presentation of the storyline. The benefits of this study are that it will help gain a deep understanding of the structure of the script text and increase the knowledge of structural reviews in comparative studies on the plot and presentation of the plot of drama scripts.
