In Samuel Beckett´s play, Endgame, one of the most renowned works by the famous 20th century Irish writer, we meet the strange character, Hamm, who is unable to stand up and lies in a wheelchair, attended on by his servant, Clov. Nagg is Hamm´s father and Nell his mother, and they both live in dustbins and recurrently in the play they open the dustbins to ask for food or to talk to each other.
