At the sound of a piercing bell Winnie wakes and exclaims, "Another heavenly day." Even though she is buried up to her waist in a mound of earth, Winnie - ever the optimist - goes about her day without acknowledging her precarious position. She brushes her teeth, puts on lipstick, reminisces, and references great works of literature that she has read; but she can no longer remember the lines that inspired her. Her source of comfort and inspiration, and all her "happy days," are the items in her seemingly bottomless bag, her thoughts, and the presence of her companion, Willie. Although Happy Days is one of Beckett's most whimsical works, it continues his relentless search for the meaning of existence, combing the tenuous relationships that bind one person to another, and each to the universe, to time past and time present.
