what is the subject of endgame by beckett?

1. Anagnorisis: self knowledge (the character recognises it's presence on stage (P12 Hamm: "This is not much fun"..Nell " Why this farce, day after day?") :- Metadrama, a play about a play

2. Fate (Clov "Something is taking it's course") Characters entrapment on stage/in role. (P24 Clov "Then I'll you..Hamm "You can't leave us") (Clov "I can't sit down")

A controlling force that cannot be averted

Samuel beckett wants to highlight apocalyptic vision after second world war therefore he created Hamm is a dominating person
