摘要：This paper is a critique of existential terror, estrangement, andmeaningless social and ethical contradictions seen everywhere in the plays of TomStoppard. The playwright intellectually mingles history and philosophy. The senseof humour with refined wit is the essence of Stoppard. He superbly demonstratesthe confusion between fact and fiction in human life. His helpless characters arealways caught in the existential dilemma and misunderstanding of things.Stoppard’s recurrent subject is immanent death and preordained fate of hispersonas. Due to this all, the absurdity, ambiguity, and chaos of human life areexperienced by readers persistently. The present study tries to explore and evaluatethe same.
