Frankly, I don’t get all the negative reviews. Have we read the same play? Have you read this play at all? Sure, the behavior of the characters was a Frankly, I don’t get all the negative reviews. Have we read the same play? Have you read this play at all? Sure, the behavior of the characters was a bit... unusual, but what would be the point of writing a play where everybody’s acting like everybody else? I think this is one of Miller’s better plays. These characters are alive, you understand them, you root for them. I especially liked Miller’s take on how psychological can become physical if you neglect it for too long....more

Veľmi ma bavili Austerlitzove "fun facts" o rôznych budovách a miestach, ktoré navštívil, pátranie po svojej minulosti, úvahy, a priložené fotografie celému príbehu dodávali ešte viac atmosféry a vyvolávali dojem, že tento príbeh sa naozaj stal.

Some passages were beautiful and some I found funny, although I'm not sure if they're supposed to be funny. So maybe I'll change my rating after a discussion in class since I don't know if I understood much of this but here's a nice quote:
ESTRAGON: I remember the maps of the Holy Land. Coloured they were. Very pretty. The Dead Sea was pale blue. The very look of it made me thirsty. That's where we'll go, I used to say, that's where we'll go for our honeymoon. We'll swim. We'll be happy. VLADIMIR: You should have been a poet. ESTRAGON: I was. (Gestures towards his rags.) Isn't that obvious....more
