Comparison of Waiting for Godot and Osborne's
Look Back in Anger
Historical Background of the Two plays
● The post war literature
● Osborne's play offers a revolutionary
change on behalf of the betterment for the
working class and orient's the
enlightenment to demonstrate the social
corruption and unfairness for the British
middle, upper classes. While Buckett’s
work addresses more to the whole
humanity.
● Osborne uses realism to show
dissatisfaction towards the society's ugly
side in both constitutional and spousal.
Buckett rejects any realistic view, and has
a surreal point about the earth that carries
no logic behind.
● Both types include characters from
ordinary people.
Language use
● Osborne's use of language is a reflection of
'realism’ (what economical status and class
ranks the characters have and how well and
poorly-educated they are stand out the their
speeches and ways of using language).
● While backett does not believe in the real
aim of language (language is used in a
functionless way, with no intebt at
conveying any kind of meaning)
Sjfjdbskchsh
Character
● Vladimir
● Estragon
● Pozzo
● Lucky
● The boy
● Jimmy Porter
● Alison Porter
● Cliff Lewis
● Helena Charles
● Colonel Redfern
Themes of both work
Waiting for Godot
● Humor and the absurd
● Waiting, Boredom
● Modernism and
postmodernism
● Time
● Humanity,
companionship,
suffering and dignity
Look Back in Anger
● Class and education
● Suffering and anger
vs. Complancy
● Disillusionment and
nostalgia
● Gender
● Love and Innocence
● Meaningless and absurdity
● The theme of ‘Past’ is similar
● Both share a feeling of being lost in passimistic
views
● Class system and it's distinction in the society
(Jimmy's criticism, Pozzo and lucky relation.)
● Waiting for Godot is Actionless action of
“waiting” and Look Back in Anger is more
developed with the tirades of Jimmy Porter
rather than outside forces
● The structure of the play by Osborne is more
‘proper’ than that of Beckett.

  • 1. Prepared by : Latta Baraiya Sem : 2 (M.A.) Enrollment no. : 3069206420200003 Topic : Beckett's Waiting for Godot and Osborne's Look Back in Anger Paper : 21st century literature - 2 Email id : lattabaraiya1204@gmail.com Submitted to : S.

  • 2. Comparison of Waiting for Godot and Osborne's Look Back in Anger
  • 3. Historical Background of the Two plays ● The post war literature ● Osborne's play offers a revolutionary change on behalf of the betterment for the working class and orient's the enlightenment to demonstrate the social corruption and unfairness for the British middle, upper classes. While Buckett’s work addresses more to the whole humanity.
  • 4. ● Osborne uses realism to show dissatisfaction towards the society's ugly side in both constitutional and spousal. Buckett rejects any realistic view, and has a surreal point about the earth that carries no logic behind. ● Both types include characters from ordinary people.
  • 5. Language use ● Osborne's use of language is a reflection of 'realism’ (what economical status and class ranks the characters have and how well and poorly-educated they are stand out the their speeches and ways of using language). ● While backett does not believe in the real aim of language (language is used in a functionless way, with no intebt at conveying any kind of meaning)
  • 6. Sjfjdbskchsh Character ● Vladimir ● Estragon ● Pozzo ● Lucky ● The boy ● Jimmy Porter ● Alison Porter ● Cliff Lewis ● Helena Charles ● Colonel Redfern
  • 7. Themes of both work Waiting for Godot ● Humor and the absurd ● Waiting, Boredom ● Modernism and postmodernism ● Time ● Humanity, companionship, suffering and dignity Look Back in Anger ● Class and education ● Suffering and anger vs. Complancy ● Disillusionment and nostalgia ● Gender ● Love and Innocence
  • 8. ● Meaningless and absurdity ● The theme of ‘Past’ is similar ● Both share a feeling of being lost in passimistic views ● Class system and it's distinction in the society (Jimmy's criticism, Pozzo and lucky relation.) ● Waiting for Godot is Actionless action of “waiting” and Look Back in Anger is more developed with the tirades of Jimmy Porter rather than outside forces ● The structure of the play by Osborne is more ‘proper’ than that of Beckett.
