The Tape's Idea Of Life

In the theatrical piece Krapp's Last Tape by Samuel Beckett, we see two different perspectives about this man's thoughts about love. The tape which is a symbol of him at a young age, shows how at a those ages we don't really know what love means and represents. In the case of the tape, he thinks love is falling for that person you met at the park and that you now dream about that person next to you at night.

This is immature and a very vague significance of love. This is because love is more than meeting someone special, and I know this because although I don't really know its true significance I know it has to mean something more. I know there must be a reason for all those romantic novels and short stories, I know there must be a reason why people get married or kiss. Meeting and dreaming may be the cute part of love, but it the feeling of butterflies inside your stomach can't be something as simple as dreaming how does "She lay streched out on the floorboards with her hands under her head and her eyes closed" (tape).

Love has a lot of meanings but at those ages it may not mean that much.
