Breath by Samuel Beckett


  Respected sir,

  Here is my interpretation of the play “ Breath”

           Breath is notably short stage work by Samuel Beckett.  It is a 30 or 32 seconds play. So the interpretation of this play is little bit hard . Many plays made on this subject under the title of Breath. It is post modernism art, it’s  shows the effect of world war two, suffering of humans and etc.
           Breath the title itself suggest that it’s about human life, because ultimately breath is a journey from life to death. After watching various video of this play I found various interesting things which directly connected with our life. So in the video of modern interpretation we can find that how the symbolically various prop use like toys – for childhood, then working or monotonous life, then spectacle – for old age, so it’s shows human journey and at the end garbage, so it’s present the death. And try to present some important aspect about life that what is the purpose of life, why we are here? Waiting for death also we can say.
           In Damien Hirst’s video we find and feel the inhalation and exhalation of human’s breath, and the child’s crying, and swastic it is directly connected with politics and Hitlar, and garbage. So it is about nothingness of life. Life is nothing but waste. It’s talked about death. So we can say  that our life is  meaningless like a garbage. Absurdity of life, and try to ask the question on human Existentialism.
        So we can interpret on this way also that we always west our life or time on rubbish things, and like garbage we come on Earth , just live and die.
        In most of the videos many things use same way as symbols like, darkness use it’s symbolically represents nothingness, child crying, light for hope, day to day’s  things like fruits and medical garbage, human breath, day and night for routine life etc.
                                                                                                                                                                                                   Thanks.
