The techniques of fable and vaudeville,hatswapping,pratfalling with Laurel and Hardylike bantering and jabbering was famously adopted in "Godot",which in the verdict of Irish critics Vivian Mercier that"Godot"is a play in which "nothing happens twice",a scar like malediction stuck to its artist. "No matter.Try again.Fail again.Fail better"an evergreen maxim that media pundits has regarded as his motto and laughter,his signature bonus often appended as trademark.I was fond of the most popular quotation in the play"Endgame" uttered by Nell,an uncivilised mendicant dustbin dweller that"Nothing is funnier than unhappiness"that inspired this semioriginal piece.If one is unhappy,either driven hunger or thirst to succeed,a good sense of commedy and humour could lighten the yoke of distress.To regret being unhappy,could be like fueling the hellfire of distress.We should copy that Beckett refined attributes such as boredom,nothingness,emptiness,reppettition common to mankind in distress times,with sense of laughter.
