This thesis compared Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot and Edward Albee’s The Zoo Story in the light of Deleuze and Guattari’s theory of minor literature that emphasizes three revolutionary qualities. Firstly, from the viewpoint of the deterritorialization of language, the two plays are the same in that they oppose paranoiac systems revealing linguistic inability, but they are different because Waiting for Godot achieves linguistic deterritorialization undermining standard English while The Zoo Story just gives up using linguistic method. Secondly, from the political point of view, the demonic bureaucratic machine in Waiting for Godot and the destruction of bourgeois illusion in The Zoo Story are commonly connected with politics, yet there is a difference between them; the former deals with huge bureaucratic machine succeeding in flight with open ending, when the latter gets captured by symbolic system giving a trite message with closed ending. Thirdly, in terms of the collective assemblage of enunciation, the two dramas naturally resemble the absurd dramas, however, Waiting for Godot reflects the common tendency of Irish literary works— anticonservatism, on the other hand, The Zoo Story tends to be an individual enunciation dealing with family union. In short, Waiting for Godot is a powerful machine of minor literature, but The Zoo Story is a weak one.
