Comparison between The Swamp Dwellers and Waiting
for Godot.
- Urban and rural life in Swamp Dwellers
- The play open and end in this hut.
- Unity of Time and Action is also Followed Waiting for Godot evening time, country road, a tree.
- Unity of Time, Place action is not followed.
Hopelessness
- The play revolves around Vladimir and Estragon and their pitiful wait for hope to arrive.
- They are waiting without hope for a deliverance from a being in whom they do not really believe.
- For Acheson, Waiting for Godot is an invective against Christian hope since the modern man, like Didi and Gogo wait endlessly for Godot who does not come.
- The similarity in terms of setting, characterization, and themes among all others are quite evident in the two plays.
- The central issue in both plays is on the question of salvation.
- The play end in sadness as the lure of the city and the betrayal of traditional virtues rob the aged Alu and Makuri of their two sons.
- There is not physical death of any character but there are several death metaphorical deaths.
- The Swamp Dwellers articulates a sense of the disorder of human life.
