The reflection of the wastelands of Waiting for Godot and Endgame in electronic media

<p><em>The Reflection of the Wastelands of </em><em>Waiting for Godot</em><em> and </em><em>Endgame </em><em>in Electronic Media</em> is a study of the wasteland settings of <em>Waiting for Godot</em>, <em>Endgame</em>, and the Internet according to the method of play analysis established by Bruce McConachie in <em>American Theatre in the Culture of the Cold War: Producing and Contesting Containment, 1947- 1962</em>. Chapter One establishes my justification, methodology, structure, and survey of literature. Chapters Two-Four explore isolation and language, magic, and death in regard to <em>Godot</em>, <em>Endgame</em>, and the Internet, respectively. Chapter Four also briefly concludes the work. This thesis invites spectators to examine <em>Waiting for Godot</em> and <em>Endgame</em> in regard to electronic media, which helps us to understand both Beckett's work and electronic media in a scholarly, theatrical context that discrete analyses could not singularly achieve.</p>
