    Taylor Daneyko IB English 4 Griffin pd. 5 Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett may be observed as a meaningless play with its sole purpose being humor by some; however‚ the significance of the literature is open for interpretation. The characters of Estragon and Vladimir are delusional and helplessly waiting for someone‚ for whom they have absolutely no knowledge of. The setting consists of a country road and merely a tree.

As inferred from the phrase "existence precedes essence"‚ there is no pre-existent spirituality or soul; no god‚ Christian

    how we can base our lives around some objective “rules” we made up ourselves? If God and objective morals are taken out of people’s lives‚ we are left completely free‚ but in an alien environment. This freedom shows itself in the play of “waiting for Godot” as the two characters‚ Estragon and Vladimir are isolated from society. We see that this isolation was a conscious choice on their parts as this is a dialogue between the two saying “we lost our rights” and the other replies “no‚ we got rid

    Hosung Kim Mr. Neil Tweedie AP English Literature 11 December 2014 Camus’s Absurdism in Waiting for Godot Voted “the most significant English language play of the 20th century‚” Waiting for Godot implies a strange meaning to all of us.

    Beckett is considered to be an important figure among the French Absurdists. “Waiting for Godot” is one of the masterpieces of Absurdist literature.

    characters that are usually vague or ambiguous in such plays. It’s dreamy and scary and much of the dialogue is repetitive and‚ well‚ absurd. Waiting for Godot is the very epitome of this. Two guys are waiting for this other dude‚ Godot‚ whoever he may be. Their conversation is strained. The play takes place over two days (and they have already been waiting). The characters flow into one another and sometimes seem to shift characteristics (or hats). Moreover‚ the play is indeed very repetitive. The
