Closure is a very important aspect of a story. The closure or lack thereof achieves the goal of creating a text that readers would want to continue reading to find out the ending, it helps guide the reader. The term “closure” according to Abbott is “best understood as something we seek in narrative, as a desire that authors understand and often expend art to satisfy or frustrate” (Abbott, 57). In the play Waiting for Godot, the lack of closure is very evident throughout. This piece significantly follows the hermeneutic code, the level of questions or answers. This code allowed the author to grab readers' attention because people like to find and understand closures, but also by allowing the author to not give a closure. Additionally, the type of play, which is absurd, is a big part of why this play lacks a conclusion. The definition of absurdist is: “A writer, performer, etc., whose work presents an audience or readership with absurdities, usually by depicting the futility of human struggle in a senseless and inexplicable world; especially. a writer or proponent of absurdist drama” (OED). The absurdist genre allows the play not to directly answer the questions, but to leave it open so that the reader can interpret the actions as they wish, just as they would interpret real-life situations, where no events are engraved in marble. The dialogues and the play as a whole make it easy to examine how the above statements come to fruition. Using the hermeneutic code and absurdist genre, as well as a lack of conclusion, the author wrote Waiting For Godot, a play written to make the audience think.In the book The Cambridge Introduction to Narrative, H..... . middle of paper ...... with the lack of closure, the author has opened many avenues, making it impossible to properly tell the play due to various interpretations. The play has also sneakily inserted a philosophy about human life, uncertainty and how it is a major part of human life is portrayed through this play. All these characteristics combined make this piece a very good piece, it makes you want to live forever to see how future generations would interpret the piece. In conclusion, this text is written to get readers to think and participate as active members in reading the play. Works Cited Abbott, H. Porter.
