Routines

In Krapp's Last Tape, I also noticed another factor that seemed small and insignificant at first, but then it made another portion make sense. This piece of evidence came after I had already made my previous inferences of mental disorder or alcohol. The only thing different about this, is that this piece of evidence led me to eliminate the thought of mental disorder as a whole.

During the tape, Krapp showed another trait that most people have. He showed many signs of routines. First, he ate a banana. Then he ate another banana in the same way as the first. Then he went to the back room to bring the books. Again he did the same thing in the same way. This was the first time i thought of this coincidence. Lastly, when he played the recorder, it was his voice. The voice was telling him of what he was doing. It told of his habits, what he ate, what he did, and etc. This is what made me come to my conclusion that his routine of alcohol is what made him such a drunk in the film.
