Document Summary
Richard elliot he is unique, given voice to inarticulate men/women he says only there and then as metabolism lowers can human emotion be approached. Emphasis on people whoa re past point of meaningful existence. Krapp the main character is a failed writer, he records tapes of himself and reflects on his own life. This is ironic because the main character is basically torturing himself by recording and listening to his memories every year. Krapp is at the end of his tether, and it is his 40th birthday he listens and analyses his own work, fast forwards and pauses to feel some sense of control over his life. Krapp chose to live a life of work wanted to be a successful writer, however his life is meaningless, because he does not have many close relationships and he is also a failure. P. 1370 they both laugh sometimes krapp is in unison with his emotions, and sometimes he isn"t.
