Breath Shortest Play by Samual Beckett

 Hello Readers!!

I am Hinaba Sarvaiya and I am student of MKBUniversity English department. Here we find the very interesting task given by our professor because it not only tasks but think about the same absurdity in the shortest play "Breath" written by Samual Beckett. He was Irish novelist, Playwright, short story writer theatre director, and literary transletor. I put the shortest play "Breath".

CURTAIN Up

1. Faint light on stage littered with miscellaneous rubbish. Hold about five seconds

2. Faint brief cry and immediately inspiration and slow increase of light together reaching maximum - together in about ten seconds. Silence and hold for about five second

3. Expiration and slow decrease of light together reaching minimum together (light as in 1) in about ten seconds and immediately cry as before. Silence and hold about five seconds.

CURTAIN Down

 

Picturization of "Breath" :-

Interpretation:-

This play consist the many things like sound, Books, use of phones, tress and clock present in my video and I have try to discuss it. I interpreted to the  traditional generation to modern generation. Starting the video we listen to sound of the machine. It represents to the human doesn't find the breath of the life. There are constantly do the work but not find any reason for the life. I put the another thing like books and phone. Both are contradictory but same similarity like both gives to knowledge. But human are alone to the books and became a puppet for the phone. Many phone are dead in this it means not any phones working  like garbage but one phone is lightning. It means give to hope. And clock also symbolise to something became a good for all. Time always change, pass away but no one can  stoped the time and  no one can stoped their life. death give to peace and stoped their life but it not a proper solution for the life. But here we find the death of human and only their lived   in machanical life and it also represents the death of human existence. 

In short it represents human are trying to distorted your peace and as a human life.

I have used the time is the Central theme in this play. Human are always tries to find your existence but time on change no one find the proper reason or meaning of life. Human are always converted their life as a machines. Tress gives to breath but we are always run on the wrong direction. No find your peace and breath for the nature because human are always find your first need, to your existence. But both are lost only for the death of thoughts. 

It is my interpretation of this play.

Thank you.
