Abstract
« Time that double-headed monster of damnation and salvation — Time » is the antagonist in Samuel Beckett's play That time (1976). The mutant and miscreant Time is the enemy that forces the protagonist's exile and slow deterioration. Time, unceasingly and eternally, eats voraciously into every second, hour, day, year, decade, century. Past, present, and future in That time, like three black holes in the heavens, expand when called upon to articulate thoughts and feelings — only to contract seconds later, in what becomes a final gravitational collapse at the play's conclusion. An exploration of Time, which views life in That Time as a loss, an insult, a dominating, enslaving, imprisoning, and torturing indignity, is offered the reader.
