Abstract

In his play Endgame, Samuel Beckett explores individuals divided between the simplicity and the complexity of mind and body. Therefore, based on Ricoeur’s concepts of memory and body (1968; 2007), this article aims to analyze the knowledge from the self and the other in the play, and how dependent they are on each other and their memories.
