That the rivers and seas will run with fish again?
Amidst this barren environment, we are persuaded to think of the fertility not only of the natural world but also of an imagination which cannot forsake the idea of fecundity. It is within the context established by this split response to the idea of fertility that the figure of the excluded child in Endgame needs to be viewed.
Nor is this figure confined to the appearance, in story or action, of the small boy. We are constantly aware of Hamm as both a son, with his father and mother in ashbins in the same space, and a father too — whether adoptive or biological is never clear. As well as excluding the child, in both chronicle and stage action, Hamm himself appears as excluded child in both narration and action.
He was ignored, excluded, just as he is once again when the adult Hamm calls out to his father at the end of the play The scenario of exclusion is thus played out by Hamm as himself both parent and excluded child. Here he multiplies the child by imagining the child imagining multiplicity: it is a figure for the obsessive recurrence of the scenario of the excluded child in the play.
The scenario which is intended to play out a decisive rejection of fertility ends up perpetuating that fertility by its very narrative enactment. At the ends of both plays, the central figure enacts a renunciation. Yet the indeterminacy of Endgame infects Faith Healer too. To conceive of him as a ghost see Hughes, hardly confers closure. What Frank is renouncing, along with chance, is surely narration itself. But, as Beckett has shown us repeatedly, narration can never be assumed to abolish itself: to narrate the end of narration is to energize narration further, and thus to engender narration rather than to end it.
Although the legacy is unavoidable, it nonetheless calls forth a response. This resembles a nested inversion of the chronicle-encounter between Hamm and his begging vassal. Perceived from another angle, it is the exclusion of another child. Yet it is simultaneously apparent that if this haunting and haunted trio are heroes of the spirit, it is in their determination to live outside the cope of parental, and even familial, authority.
There is no end of play, either in Endgame or after it. Seen in relation to Faith Healer, it marks no conclusion. But it had already told us that. The very imaginative energy which seeks to rupture the genetic line is what guarantees the continuation of that line through its excluded child. Mill Creek story.

Presented in four monologues by three characters, Brian Friel's Faith Healer is the story of Frank, a traveling showman who also occasionally heals people; his bitter, angry, but still loving wife; and his once-plucky, now-tired manager, who has given up his career to promote Frank. Each monologue sheds more light on events that lead to tragedy, although the characters' memories. In this darkly lyrical tale of a traveling faith healer roaming through Scotland and Wales with his wife and his manager, the author has created a metaphorical portrait of the artist as both creator and destroyer.
