  • "In Krapp's Last Tape, an old man reviews his life pondering the decisions he once made and assesses his predicament. We learn about him not from the sixty nine year old man on stage but from his thirty nine year old self on the tape he chooses to listen to. Krapp relishes and savors his words spoken by the pompous voice on the tape stopping, starting and forwarding it at as draws him back into a past where once there was a chance of happiness. This becomes an image of the mystery of the self, for to the old Krapp the voice of the younger Krapp is that of a total stranger. In Beckett's work, recognition of the triviality and pointlessness of most human strivings frees the viewer from their concerns with senseless objectives with a liberating effect. Laughter emerges from a view of self important preoccupation with illusory ambitions and futile desires."@en
