The hollow laugh laughs at that which is not true, it is the intellectual laugh. Not good! Not true! Well, well. But the mirthless laugh is the dianoetic laugh, down the snout—Haw! It is the laugh of laughs, the risus purus , the laugh laughing at the laugh, the beholding, the saluting of the highest joke, in a word the laugh that laughs—silence please—at that which is unhappy Down in the hole, lingeringly, the grave-digger puts on the forceps.
We have time to grow old. This is an awareness that he and his companion Estragon have from the beginning of the play, as one of their earliest dialogues indicates:. Vladimir: Suppose we repented. Estragon: Repented what? Vladimir Oh […] He reflects. Estragon: Our being born? Vladimir breaks into a hearty laugh which he immediately stifles, his hand pressed to his pubis, his face contorted.
Estragon: Dreadful privation. Vladimir: Merely smile. He smiles suddenly ear to ear, keeps smiling, ceases as suddenly. Nothing to be done. Even laughter, in such a world, is brief and physically painful, given the frailty of the human body. Or as Nell, the wise soul of Endgame , explains to her husband Nagg:. Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that…. Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world. And we laugh, we laugh, with a will, in the beginning.
But it's always the same thing. Yes, it's like the funny story we have heard too often, we still find it funny, but we don't laugh any more For instance, a third of the way through the play, Clov fixes his telescope on the audience and reports to Hamm:. I see […] a multitude […] in transports […] of joy.
He lowers the telescope, turns towards Hamm. Clov after reflection : Nor I For example, before Clov speaks his first word, Beckett has him go through a protracted, silent vaudeville skit. Thus the first sounds of the play are laughter, their sounds preceding language.
It becomes a way to point to, and overcome, the limits of language, about which Beckett, from his early years, was keenly aware and struggled to address. While Beckett did not need Mauthner to fuel his linguistic skepticism, he did find in Mauthner a model and a method.
By placing language at the heart of the Critique , subsuming under it all knowledge, and then systematically denying its basic efficacy, Mauthner illustrates the possibility of using language to indict itself, something Beckett would later attempt.
They are exhausted comics still trying to get a laugh. While still an undergraduate at Trinity College, Dublin he frequented the Abbey theatre, seeing the plays of Yeats and, more significantly, J. And yet Nichols at least tried to be more or less faithful to the general requirements of the play.
Thus the entire play is robbed of its aural and visual power. The power of a Chekhov play, like a Beckett play, is in blending the two, as for example in The Cherry Orchard , in the last scene, when after a pause, which seems to conclude the play, the old servant Firs enters the now-abandoned and locked house, forgotten by the others who will not return until spring. Is the moment tragic or comic?
In a well-directed and acted version, the audience feels both, just as they do in an equally well-directed and acted Godot. Yet, with equal assertiveness, he has also claimed that his plays are funny. Aside from that, he thought him a marvelous playwright. When he died, many theatre people paying tribute to him mentioned the humor in his play. By age six he had already been taken by a nanny to see Jimmy Durante perform on Broadway, and at home had met the famous comedy pair Olson and Johnson, Ed Wynn, and Bert Lahr.
Critical studies have repeatedly focused on his use of the themes of the adopted son, the unwanted or fantasy child, the dysfunctional family, as well as the upper-class milieu and its moral and spiritual bankruptcy.
