Ding, Yaozan. Xi fang shi jie de xian feng pai wen yi shi jie zhi shi [ID D30772].
Dong calls Samuel Beckett a representative dramatist of the Theatre of the Absurd. Ding's reading of Waiting for Godot leads him to make these observations : 'The play's theme shows that it is impossible for man to find real meanings in life. Life is a tragedy of endless aspiration, endless disappointment, and the only outcome is waiting for death'. Ding further concludes that Beckett's other plays 'dramatize the same theme'.
