Beckett's "Endgame," originally written in French, concerns two characters, Hamm and Clov. Hamm is blind and unable to stand, and Clov is unable to sit down. Clov and Hamm are interdependent on one another and appear to be friends, but they do nothing but fight, bicker, and argue throughout the entire play.
