Creation is unending carnage, a cycle of bloodiness that must be broken, and can be broken, Hughes suggests. Death owns all, even crow's feet and beak, but despite this knowledge, rather than retreating to a room, or dreaming of a false past, like Beckett's characters, Crow wrangles with the elements in anger and incantation.

Although Beckett may not find a solution in "Endgame," Beckett is not entirely hopeless. Beckett does offer some hope for conversation and human connection towards the end of his play, such as this exchange:

CLOV:

This is what we call making an exit.

HAMM:

I'm obliged to you, Clov. For your services.

CLOV (turning sharply):

Ah pardon, it's I am obliged to you.

HAMM:

It's we are obliged to each other.

These exchanges do not take place in a state of fury, like Crow's rejection of the world created by God. Rather, the hope Beckett finds is a transient ability of two individuals to aid one another, despite their apparent difficulties. It is a return, however forced, to older forms of civility and an acknowledgement of the mutual dependence of the two men upon one another. Through the simple act of courtesy, Beckett suggests, there is some hope, if not meaning, just as Hughes suggests through the figure of Crow that Crow's very physicality, however mortal, holds a kind of hope for the reader.
