1. What a playwright's character says is not necessarily what the playwright believes (there is some conflation in Caitlin's piece). The Pozzo quote is very nihilistic and I personally reject it (and find it a very demeaning image).
2. I always find the 'life is short' line very misleading, along with the 'YOLO' exhortation. Life is very long; the spirit is eternal.
