I find it quite astounding that you confuse existentialism with absurdism . Beckett , like Ionesco , is part of the tradition of the Absurd .
Existentialism is a totally different kettle of fish . You speak of Existentialism as though you had never read Sartre . Existentialism is to do with making sense of the absurd , being engagé . I could go on about Camus too , but I shan't .

You speak of reciting lines without understanding them . Beckett would have loved you , and Sartre would have scorned you . I hope that you now know the difference between absurdism and existentialism .
