1.最近讀了 一些劇本
The Room, and The Birthday Party (by Pinter)
加上以前讀過的 The Homecoming and
The Dumb Waiter
覺得一樣像謎 不知到底劇本要講什麼
但弔詭的是劇本因此有多種詮釋的可能
2. 讀“Rhinoceros”( by Ionesco) 則容易懂多了
同時想起他寫的 The Chairs
後者的感覺很像 Samuel Beckett 的
Waiting for Godot
(板主抱歉, 以下用英文可以嗎? 受不了了,
中文輸入真的很慢很慢)
The couple parallels the two tramps. Both pairs of
characters are “waiting” for someone or something
that will change their condition , bring meanings
to their life, and carry the message for them.
For Beckett, there is no such a person or a thing that
can fulfill such a desire and longing; that is why Godot
never appears. We humans can do nothing about the fruitless,
purposeless existence. And Ionesco seems to express
the same idea in a different way. Godot finally shows up in “The
Chairs’ in the name of the orator, who the old couple are desperately
expecting. The orator is supposed to send or carry messages about the
meaning of life. Ironically and poignantly, it turns out that he is
both dumb and deaf. What he can make is only blurring sounds
without any meanings. I feel the human situation in The Chairs
is more depressing and saddening because it is very certain that
there is no hope left while at least the two tramps can keep waiting.
