Vol-6,Issue-6,November - December 2021

Author: Ghassan Awad Ibrahim

Keywords: Horrific consequences, Trauma, recovery, and Survival.

Abstract: This research aims to tackle the problems and difficulties that face people after wars and their horrific consequences. As a result, people after the end of any wars or catastrophes are made to suffer the trauma of the hardship of life and the social disintegration of their communities not to mention the loss of their lovers and all forms of destruction. Thus, there will be suggestions of psychological recovery throughout this research which may improve the psyches of those who have traumatic experiences. The research also aims at acquainting the reader with Samuel Beckett's treatment in his masterpiece Waiting for Godot of the devastating World War II (1939-1945) and its negative impacts on people as he exerts much efforts to show the horrific consequences of that recent war as if he addresses all people worldwide and warns them at the same time of the risks of evil, wars in particular, when he gives succinct descriptions of people suffering from the harshness of lifein the fifties of the last century in his drama which may stem from his moral responsibility as a playwright aware of the dangers of wars that usually claim uncountable numbers of death toll and leave the world destructive and most of its survived people traumatized, trying intensely to survive in a world that deprives them of their simplest rights of living.
