The Frontier of Existence in Beckett’s Waiting for Godot and Ionesco’s Rhinoceros

Beckett is waiting for the boundary line between Godot and Ionesso's rhinoceros. In this article we will explore that Becket is waiting for Godo and Ionesso's rhino. However, in this play I call rhinoceros as thick skin and ugly animal.

Ionessco's work is similar to the work of the play writer Samuel Beckett, an Irish novelist of the 20th century. Beckett plays such as waiting for Godot and the final stage also include human suffering, survival, and struggle for meaninglessness and irrationality in a truly absurd world. However, most of Ionessco's works are more comical, verbal, and desperate than Beckett's work. Of course, by saying that Ionesco's script is more comical, the seriousness of the subjects seen in his work is not an unobtrusive expression. In fact, his view on human condition is very effective and is reinforced with unreasonable use. The role takes meaningless and repetitive actions and emphasizes the nonsenseness of its existence and the illogical way of their lives.

Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Goddo" is a drama in the mid-20th century and belongs to the genre of "Avertar drama" that focused on meaninglessness of human condition. Absurd thinking is to wait for Godot 's theme embodied in his hero. Together with Vladimir (Diddy), Gogo represents universal people facing the world. Becket uses each character to indicate the limits and absurdities of various aspects of human existence. At the metaphysical level, Vladimir and Estragon exemplify the intrinsic dichotomy of humans in the body and mind, and illustrate the limits and meaninglessness of these parts of human nature.
