    presented with a parabolic creation‚ one that begins‚ climaxes‚ and ends. Beckett’s two act tragedy‚ Waiting for Godot‚ is a work of the existential mindset that begins in the middle where it ends. Beckett threw out the idea of literary norms in many of his works‚ but Waiting for Godot came to be one of the most praised and ridiculed pieces of all time. In terms of overthrowing literary norms‚ Godot does not have a beginning‚ a middle or an even an end. It does‚ in the literal sense‚ have an ending‚ but

    Who is Godot and what does he represent? These are two of the questions that Samuel Beckett allows both his characters and the audience to ponder. Many experiences in this stage production expand and narrow how these questions are viewed. The process of waiting reassures the characters in Beckett’s play that they do indeed exist. One of the roles that Beckett has assigned to Godot is to be a savior of sorts. Godot helps to give the two tramps in Waiting for Godot a sense of purpose. Godot is an
