“Samuel Beckett’s ‘Not I’: Isolation, Identity, And The Fractured Self”
“Not I” by Samuel Beckett is a short, intense play that delves into the themes of isolation, the fragmented self, and the search for identity. Through a disembodied mouth that hovers in the darkness, the play explores the fractured memories and introspections of an unnamed woman as she grapples with her existence and the fleeting nature of life.
