Change is something that has been discussed as being an inevitable part of human life. It is something which humans have experienced many times and will continue to experience it many more times throughout their lives. As with anything else there are different types, or levels, of change that can occur. Perhaps the most obvious ones to categorize change by are internal and external. Internal being a change that will affect you personally as opposed to external which is change to make an impact on more than one person, some extreme cases also are encountered on a worldwide scale.One such example of internal changes (or changes in perspective) is shown in the play "Krapp's Last Tape" written by Samuel Beckett. This stage play evolves a shattering drama out of a monologue of a man who, at age sixty-nine, plays back the autobiographical tape he recorded on his thirty-ninth birthday. All of Samuel Beckett's plays are focused around the same themes (as is all absurd drama). These themes include the futility of human life and the pointlessness of bare existence. "Krapp's Last Tape" is no exception to these themes. Living solely in a solitary room sits an old man at a desk. This is Krapp, and t
One of the more memorable stories would have to be "The War of the Worlds". This change in perspective has caused a major affect in history as this radio play of "The War of the Worlds" will remain as one of the greatest radio plays even written. Soon millions upon millions knew that aliens were attacking the Earth. However these people are so sure of their own self-worthlessness that no matter where they are they are happier than ever before, because they have solved the ultimate question. Unavoidable and unpredictable, changing perspective is something which shapes us as human beings. His perspective has opened up on a whole new level, a level that can only be achieved by the greatest of people, an absolute level where everything seems futile. A few percentage of people took this radio play for real, thinking aliens were attacking the Earth, and the panic from these people radiated out into the masses. As has been shown in the irony of "Krapp's Last Tape" and in the classic sociological blunder known as "The War of the Worlds" change is an unstoppable force created by the human mind, something which we have yet to tame and master. Sitting in his den, on his own, for eternity. All was life, life was everything, no contemplation about death was ever made because Krapp was considered to be beyond death, in the realm of absurdity. In the words of Krapp, "Life is just an equinox, an endless, changing, infinite equinox, all helping us revolve around this worthless muckball". "Krapp's Last Tape" has often been thought of as being Beckett's way of explaining himself to the world, but the world doesn't seem to be ready for this type of understanding, this way of thinking, this new and changing perspective. They have reached the highest peak and have now got the best perspective out of everyone. Every morning, evening and night families all over the globe would be tuning in their wireless to the closest broadcast of sport, news and even stories. This is an example of an impulsive change in perspective, having many perspectives to believe but quickly jumping into one out of fear or any other emotion.
