Samuel Beckett (1906-1989), a writer, poet and dramatist, was born in Dublin, Ireland. He studied French and Italian, completing a M.A. in French at Trinity College. After traveling in England and in Europe he settled permanently in Paris, except for a brief hiatus during World War II. Beckett‟s time in France also coincided with an active period in Existential philosophy, most of it centered in Paris. Existentialism is a philosophy focused on existence and how a person exists in the world. The philosophy holds that people do not have an inherent nature or essence, but instead define their "self" through their actions and choices. While Beckett is not an Existentialist, a generally existential view of the human condition comes through very clearly in the play.
