First, create an outline that organizes the major events of Samuel Beckett's Endgame into a traditional five-act structure. Your outline must include explanations for why you chose the events you did in each act. Second, write a paragraph that analyzes how Endgame's structure affects its overall meaning.

Answer and Explanation:

Act 1: Clov prepares Hamm earlier in the day and Hamm appears to be ill.

The importance of this situation is to show how Hamm's fragility and how there is a dependent relationship between him and Vlov

Act 2: The appearance of Hamm's parents.

The importance of this situation lies in the fact that it shows Hamm's family structure and how he can be authoritarian and mean.

Act 3: Clov and Hamm play.

The importance of this situation is to show how the relationship between the two characters seems unpretentious, but it is dark and negative.

4. Hamm is cruel to Clov and makes Clov want to leave him.

The importance of this situation is to show Clov's position in favor of himself and Hamm's ability to be abusive.

5. Clov pretends to be leaving.

The importance of this situation is that it reinforces that even in the midst of an abusive relationship, Clov feels dependent and extinguished to Hamm.
