How did existentialism shape the theater of the absurd?
Existentialism significantly influenced the Theater of the Absurd by emphasizing themes of meaninglessness, alienation, and the human condition. Playwrights like Samuel Beckett and Eugène Ionesco incorporated existentialist ideas to explore the absurdity of life, often depicting characters in illogical situations that reflect their struggles for identity and purpose. This theatrical movement used absurdity as a tool to challenge conventional narratives and highlight the irrational nature of existence. Ultimately, the Theater of the Absurd invites audiences to confront the uncertainties of life in a world devoid of inherent meaning.

Why is Waiting for Godot despite its absurdity a popular play?
Because it is about relationships: the relationship between the main characters Estragon and Vladimir and the contrasts between their relationship and the dominant-submissive/dependent-supportive relationships of Pozzo and Lucky. It doesn't matter that the context is absurd because the relationships are real and at the same time capable of a symbolic interpretation. (For example, the relationships could be viewed as a metaphor for the relationship between mind and body.)

Can existentialism and determinism be compatible theories?
Yes, determinism and existentialism are compatible. You have to remember that many people think that free will and determinism are compatible (compatiblism). However, existentialism seems to accept taking responsibility for your own actions, and radical free will. However, a closer look at existentialism will reveal that existentialist philosophers (like Nietzsche) generally hold the notion of a will that is not influenced by any sort of outside force, as is posited in libertarian free will, is a rather absurd notion. Also the notion that our existence precedes our essence, an existentialist view, seems to say, at least in part, that we do not have control over every part of our lives, which would support determinism and existentialist compatibility.
