Krapp's Idea Of Life

Again talking about Krapp but not as a young man on a tape but as the old man hearing. This time love may mean something different, this time love may be seen in a different perspective.

While he hears, he refers himself as "that stupid bastard I took myself for thirty years ago" (Krapp). He may be more mature about the aspect of love, or he may now think it is something it only harms you and makes you grow to be bitter. Love may be harmful but at the age he was on the tape love is simple.

Krapp will always have the wrong idea of love. When he was young it was simple, when he was old it was something harmful, what is then the true meaning of love?

Again, I don't know the true meaning of this feeling but I know that although it may look harmful sometimes it is something wonderful. There are 2 sides of love and as there are 2 sides of everything on life. Can we really know it total true meaning? I guess we can't. It is divided in millions of types like the love of a parent and the love for a friend, that people confuse them with a simple crush or a Complex of Edipus but at the end it will always be love.




Love is weird but wonderful.
