Answer 1

Your answer would be D, the characters are frustrated with each other. As you can see both characters are difficult to understand and can't seem to get any points across whatsoever. 

Answer 2

In Endgame, where Samuel Beckett introduces us to his famous characters, Hamm and his servant, Clov, the Irish playwright presents us with the relationship between these two men who evidently hate each other but who can´t part from each other. In the room where the action takes place, sometimes it is referenced that from the window one can see the outside of the room, the sea in particular, but at other times, it would seem that Beckett implies that there is nothing outside of the room. This, naturally, leads to a very tumultuous, almost claustrophobic, relation between these two characters, clearly showing how frustrated they are at each other, but most importantly, at their own selves and their incapacity to go any further —to the point where  leaving the room seems impossible.
