Notes on Exciting Views

Exciting views (With all credits to the author K.D. Sebastian and the translator Dr. B. Kerala Varma) Notes K.D. Sebastian’s ‘Exciting views’ is a poem on two states or two kinds of lives. Two views are juxtaposed so as to make them poignantly realistic. The basic scenario is the appealing backwaters, peopled with insignificant lives. This life is set up against the opulent tourists. The movement of the poem is highly symbolic. It begins with the inanimate boats leading us to the human beings who survive in muddy waters. The boats have become dilapidated. They are now rendered useless owing to mechanistic view of modern life and better options of connectivity. They lie half submerged and they await a burial on the bank of the backwaters.

The human beings find themselves a waste. ...

Waiting for Godot as an absurd drama

The theatre of the absurd is a phenomenon of the fifties. The writers in the Absurd Movement diagnosed humanity’s plight as a purposelessness in an existence out of harmony with its surroundings. Awareness of this lack of purpose in all produces a state of metaphysical anguish which is the central theme of Absurdists. Dramatists belonging to this group did not regard themselves as a school but they all seemed to share certain attitudes towards the predicament of the men in the universe. The theatre of the absurd presents anxiety, despair and a sense of loss at the disappearance of solutions, illusions and purposelessness. The chief practitioners of absurd drama includes Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter, Ionesco, Edward Albee and Genet. Waiting for Godot is a representative play of the theatre of the absurd. It is a landmark in modern drama. It is a meditation upon the condition of man imprisoned within the obdurate and inexplicable dimension of time. In this play Beckett expr...
