"Character Studies" aims to promote sophisticated literary analysis
through the concept of character. It demonstrates the necessity of
linking character analysis to texts, themes, issues and ideas, and
encourages students to embrace the complexity of literary
characters and the texts in which they appear. The series thus
fosters close critical reading and evidence-based discussion, as
well as an engagement with historical context, and with literary
criticism and theory.This book provides an introductory study of
Beckett's most famous play, dealing not just with the four main
characters but with the pairings that they form, and the
implications of these pairings for the very idea of character in
the play. After locating Godot within the context of Beckett's
work, Lawley discusses some of the play's puzzles and difficulties
- including the absent 'fifth character', Godot himself - he
examines character-in-action in particular episodes and passages,
drawing frequently on Beckett's revised text and paying consistent
attention to the problems and possibilities of the text in
performance.
