Waiting for Godot



In the play Waiting for Godot scene is a 'country road, a tree and evening'. It is symbolical one. Barren tree symbolizes negative things and it shows death also. These paintings symbolize longing. The painting does not show the clear idea of of waiting in the same way play does not have appropriate end.
 
Tree is connected with the religion, In Hindu religion also many trees are polite but these are hidden symbols. In the play waiting for Godot we can see that in first act the tree was looking barren because we could not find any leaves into the tree it was important symbol into the play because it shows death. While in second act we can see four- five leaves on the barren tree so we can see some long time passed as it is so it reflects nothingness.

 
In both Acts, evening falls into night and moon rises. It is also connected with human life. In that act we have some desire and despair for that we are living. Night indicates darkness in life but at the back side the darkness there is light also. By hook or by crook night is connected to Death.


Yes, the play “Waiting for Godot” is an absurd drama the chief concept is nothingness. The debris director wants to shows the fragmentations of life and nothingness of life. So we can say it is appropriate in the play.

Nothingness in the play: 

• Reflects less action
• Important but uncertain 
• Hopeless destiny of human race. 
We can say that nothing special happens in neither the play nor we observe any significant change in setting. Though a change occurs but it is only that now the tree has sprouted out four or five leaves. "Nothing happens, nobody comes ... nobody goes, it's awful!" The beginning, middle and end of the play do not rise up to the level of a good play, so absurd. Vladimir and Estragon both are doing nothing as such which is important in life. Nothingness is a center idea or theme of the play.


Yas, I am agree with this point 'Waiting for Godot' is positive play not pessimistic. Because we are waiting for something and think that some will come and solve our problems but finally no one comes, we can see in the play meaningless, nothingness, rubbish, waiting as theme or center in play. But nothingness and waiting itself is something does that it is positives thought effects and universe ideas in the play. 


In the play props like hat and boot also symbolizes something in the play. While in first we see Hat and Boots use as props in the play. Both props are means for their time pass. They changing hat passing their boring time. But in deeper connotation Boots is a symbol of lower order of thinking or related with body only and Hat it symbolize higher  thinking and mind  that Vladimir is doing. 


Yes, it is seems that the obedience of Lucky is extremely irritating and nauseatic. Writer ascribes the slavery of Lucky to his Master. We see that our mind and human personality has rich people and god treated to this kind.

According to my point of view GODot is an object of GOD. Vladimir and Estragon waiting for Godot or God. Both characters are think that godot will come and solve problems of their life, we can also says Waiting also.


Yes, I agree with that the subject of the play is not Godot but ‘Waiting’ Both the characters Vladimir and Estragon are WAITING for MR. GODOT. According to my point of view waiting for death. Both are waiting for death came and both meet to god in heaven.

The play ‘Waiting for Godot’ is better to  read and visual also because in read  the simple dialogue and language is too short and but it require a lot of time to think. But at the reading time we cannot see perfect background. So both audio and visual help in better understanding of play.


In the play I most like Pozzo-Lucky episode in both acts.

Yes, while watching I can see Existence in the play. It means man is nothing else but that which he makes of himself. Existence in the end of the play because in the end no one can come so it is better to be existence rather than waiting for someone.


Yes, in the play we can see existential of human existence in the irrational and indifference when Vladimir and Estragon are doing meaningless actions to pass time. And at the end of this play when both are tired of Waiting for Mr.Godot and they are planning to suicide.

Yes, the characters of Pozzo and Lucky it was related with master and slave relations. Buckett was a disciple of Joyce and that Joyce hated England. England had power and how it was using it represented by Pozzo.
