In Krapp’s Last Tape, we get to know the character’s thoughts at the age of sixty-nine and at thirty-nine. How would you describe Krapp’s character at thirty-nine, based on the old recordings, and how would you describe him at sixty-nine? How has he progressed? In what ways is Krapp an “everyman” figure? Despite the experimental nature of the play, how does it offer its audience a character who is like all of us and who holds many of our common assumptions about the self, experience, and time? Explain your interpretation.
