A month ago, when I searched the web for “News American Election 2008”, I got this as one of the search results: Oh, the Drama! McCain in the Theater of the Absurd. The last four words caught my attention.
The New Lexicon Webster’s Dictionary defines theater of the absurd as “dramatic presentations that depict the absurdity of the human condition in an incomprehensible universe by abandoning realistic form and utilizing fantastic or other eccentric means”.
Jerome P. Crabb profoundly explained it and cited Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot as the most famous and most controversial absurdist play.
The play was made into a film, a portion of which can be viewed in Youtube.
