Why did Beckett flee to?

Samuel Beckett fled to France during World War II to escape the Nazi occupation of his native Ireland. He sought refuge in Paris, where he became involved with the French Resistance while continuing to write. This move significantly influenced his literary style and themes, leading to the creation of some of his most notable works, such as "Waiting for Godot." Beckett's experiences during this tumultuous time shaped his views on existentialism and the human condition.
