Abstract
This thesis deals with the comic in Samuel Beckett's plays Waiting for Godot and Footfalls, more precisely with analysing the ways in which Beckett was developing certain structures and techniques at the peak and at the end of his career, especially when it comes to the comic elements that are traditionally considered to be characteristic of Beckett. Following the brief overview of the socio-historical context of the 20th century, existentialist philosophy, as well as use of language and performance elements in dramatic texts, the emphasis is primarily on the plays and the interpretation of the ways the ideas of existentialist philosophy, language and performance interconnect with the comic in the two plays. The aim of the thesis is to show a significant difference between Beckett's approach to the comic during the middle and the late period of his career, as well as to open the possibility of re-examining traditional opinions on what is specific and characteristic of Beckett's approach to the comic, and what meaning the comic has in the Beckett's vision of the absurd world.
Abstract (croatian)
Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se komičnim aspektima u dramama Samuela Becketta “U očekivanju Godota” i “Footfalls”, točnije, bavi se analizom načina na koje je Beckett razvijao određene strukture i tehnike na vrhuncu i na kraju svoje karijere, osobito kada je riječ o komičnim elementima koji se tradicionalno smatraju karakterističnim za Becketta. Uz pregled sociopovijesnoga konteksta 20. st., kratke preglede egzistencijalističke filozofije, te uporabe jezika i elemenata performansa u dramskim tekstovima, naglasak je primarno stavljen na sama djela i interpretaciju kako se ideje egzistencijalističke filozofije, jezik i performans prožimaju u odnosu na komične aspekte u spomenutim dramama. Cilj rada je pokušaj prikaza značajne razlike između Beckettova pristupa komičnome u srednjem i završnom razdoblju njegove krijere, te otvaranje mogućnosti preispitivanja tradicionalnih mišljenja o tome što je specifičan i karakterističan Beckettov pristup komičnome te koje značenje komično ima u Beckettovoj viziji apsurdnoga svijeta.
