Question

In which Absurdist play, written in French as Fin de Partie, would you find the characters Hamm, Clov, Nagg, and Nell?

• A. Play (1963)
• B. Endgame (Fin de Partie) (1957)
• C. Waiting for Godot (1952)
• D. Happy Days (1961)

Hint:

For Beckett’s works, remember Waiting for Godot features Vladimir and Estragon, while Endgame includes Hamm, Clov, Nagg, and Nell.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The characters Hamm, Clov, Nagg, and Nell are central to Samuel Beckett’s Endgame (Fin de Partie), an Absurdist play exploring existential themes. Written in French and later translated by Beckett, the play reflects the human condition through minimalistic dialogue and stark settings.
