By reading Waiting for Godot (1953) and Endgame (1957) through the Freudian concept of melancholy, this article is an attempt to examine the mechanisms that legitimate Beckett’s theatre. In a post-catastrophe scenery where the word seems to have been devoid of meaning, Beckett finds the formula to create dramas without these being vain, and it is through the analysis of elements such as time, space and memory that the structure of his theater is exposed.
