   So wecan say that nothing is special happens in neither the play nor we observe any significant change in setting . Though a change occurs but it is only that now the tree has sprouted out four or five leaves . “ Nothing happens ,nobody comes , nobody goes , it’s awayful ”.The beginning ,middle and end of the play do not rise up to the level of a good play , so it is a absurd .
