ENDGAME, by Samuel Beckett, explores themes of existential despair, isolation, and the cyclical nature of life. The relationship between Hamm, a blind and paralyzed man, and Clov, his servant, reflects the dependence and powerlessness inherent in human existence. Their repetitive dialogue and occasionally hilarious routines suggest the futility of attempting to find meaning or escape from their circumstances.
