RESUME:"Dante and the Lobster" is a short story written by Samuel Beckett. The story follows the mundane and contemplative day of an Irishman named Dante, who works as a clerk in a small office. As Dante goes about his daily routine, the narrative delves into his inner thoughts and reflections on life, existence, and the nature of reality. The story takes an existential turn when Dante becomes fixated on a live lobster he plans to cook for dinner. This seemingly trivial event becomes a catalyst for deeper philosophical ponderings and introspection. Through vivid and introspective prose, "Dante and the Lobster" explores themes of identity, alienation, and the search for meaning in an absurd and mundane world.
