[ send me this paper ]

Emphasizes the relationship between Laurel and Hardy and that between the two main characters of “Waiting for Godot”, Vladimir (referred to variously as Didi and Mr. Albert) Estragon. Vladimir is Hardy’s equivalent while Estragon is Laurel’s. Regardless of how annoying one character may be perceived by his alter ego, they have an unbreakable relationship which is more positive than it is negative. Regardless of how bumbling one might appear, and how controlling the other might appear, the psyches of these characters merge seamlessly into one. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) David Hare's 1998 play, "Amy's View," is a drama based on the need, and the nature of theater. With that in mind we might expect characters to be symbolic, as well portray their fictional role. Like all fiction there may be some difference of opinion as to who is the most important character in the play. These symbolic references in "Amy's View" will form the core of this discussion.
