Beckett and the Prison

As I was researching Beckett I came across a play that he wrote titled "Happy Days" which is about a woman who is buried in the ground up to her waist in the beginning and then as the play progresses she gets deeper and deeper until she is up to her head. She is all alone except for a man named Willie, who she is constantly talking to and he is no where to be seen until the very end of the play.
As I was researching the play itself I came across a YouTube video about a women's prison who used the play in a creative arts project to relate it to their own lives. One lady makes a reference to the gun and what it represents in her life and what it represents in Winnie's life. Another talks about the forgiveness in the play and how that is all that we really want out of life.

This video really made me think about the way I relate to different texts and plays and the effect they can have on you. It is crazy how someone elses words can reflect your own life almost exactly without them having ever met you. It also makes you think twice about your own life after watching these women talk about their lives.
