Breath




video has time duration only 30 seconds. But in these 30 seconds it gives   so many worth ideas. In 20th century there were two world wars accured. And we can see the effect of world war in the literature. Writers started wrote on many theories like Nihilism, Dadaism , Existentialism, etc. In Modern, era we can see the absurdity. Everywhere it was only chaos. No hope no desire, only despair. Writers also wrote on absurd plays and shown the reality of the world. For example Samuel Beckett also wrote on absurdity and shown the absurdity of his life through his works. In this video we can find some noteworthy points like meaningless life and death, effect of world war, and suicide.

In this video we can see that in 30 seconds people go and come without doing anything, without any purpose, without meaning. So we can say that the life is meaningless. Everything is meaningless. Even death is also meaningless. Sometimes we feel that the life is like garbage.  In this video we can see the light and darkness and here we can connect it with life and death. For example light is with life and darkness is with death.

Samuel Beckett wrote the play Waiting For Godot after the World war – 2. We can find the theme of this play is absurdity. On that time many writers wrote on the theme of absurdity. And through their works we can see the reflection of the society. People doing the work without any purpose, no meaning of life.
Here we can see the existential idea.
