Sir Tom Stoppard The Early : Sir Tom Stoppard, The Early Plays. Dogg's Our Petahead of searching at one of Sir Tom Stoppard's significant plays, Travesties (1974), It is worth glancing at his short play Dogg's Our Pet (1971) (Revived to support Cahoots Macbeth 1979) in which the basic notion of Travesties is illustrated. Alalthough a quite short and basic play Dogg's Our Pet is genuinely a useful landmark in the evolution of Stoppard's Concepts about language. His interest in the way diverse forms of language have implicit meanings of their own, various from their content, was evident in earlier works, for example, the contrast between poetry and the speaking clock in If you are Glad I'll be Frank (1966), along with the contrast between Shakespearean and modern language in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (1966). Inside these circumstances the various languages reflected different 'mentalities' or various approaches to life, and This is the starting point for Travesties. At the same time Stoppard has an interest within the philosophy of the relationship between language and meaning, that's the subject matter of Dogg's Our Pet, indicated, for example, by this speech of George's from Jumpers (1972): 'This confusion, which indicates only that language is extremely an approximation of meaning, and not a logical symbolism for it.' (p.24.) This is the sort of problem Wittgenstein deals with in the first part of his Philosophical Investigations, and Dogg's Our Pet is almost a dramatisation of the opening paragraph of Philosophical Investigations. Wittgenstein starts by distinguishing between the meaning of a word, and the way a word is used. One of the examples he uses to illustrate his theory is truly a builder who is constructing a platform and calls out to his mate, "brick", "block", "plank" etc. Stoppard lifts this example straight out of Wittgenstein and puts it on stage. The builder is working at a school, his actually assistant being one of the schoolboys who have a private language of their own. (The boys
