Ameerika kirjandus alates I maailmasõjast kuni tänapäevani.
New influences are
coming from europe, this is the theatre of the absurd. Influence by Beckett and
existentsialism. World where human existence has no meaning, life is absurd, meaningless, art
should reflect this absurdity. Two characters Peter and Jerry and they have a conversation but
they have difficulty understanding each other. Lack of real communication, they speak but
don't hear. Jerry gives peter a knife and peter kills himself. So in this sense he becomes kind
of sacrifie, christ like figure. The setting is absurd. People must break out of their loneliness
and so the surviving character, it is the guilt that finally unites him with the other men. Uses a
lot of methods of absurdity. Social critic and a satirist. ,,The American Dream", it is a attack
on false values. ,,Whos afraid of Virginia Woolf". In this play we have 4 characters, one couple
invites another married couple to spend some time with them, university campus. The
