I got that CD too. And I read Rhinceros, The Chairs and The Lesson in high school. I like The Chairs.

Were they taught in play format? Or as short stories. It is very difficult to find the short stories in English.

I just adore absurdism. Not that meloncholy type though, the romantic and silly type.

=)

Wish I was taught Ionesco at school. bah

Play. They only taught us Rhinoceros, I just read the others on reccomendation of a really cool English teacher. They were all in the one book.

My ex-girlfriend/now best friend loves absurdism (Waiting for Godot in particular).

Re: kumbunny November 1 2002, 23:27:42 UTC

Waiting for Godot is a very meloncholy persepctive of the world. But learning and interpreting the symbolism is fun in itself.

I have been trying to find other Beckett plays, even more dark and sinister- but I forget there titles.

Existentialism seems to have two factions. Or how I interpret it to be two factions. Those weighted down and depressed by the prospect of no-god and those who celebrate chance and possibility, in a universe devoid of divine intervention.

I kind of prefer the latter.

I shall read Rhinoserus and the other plays over the next week. And see how they compare to the short stories.
