Waiting For Godot

"Waiting For Godot” 

If we look at the painting setting seems to be like dull ,gloomy evening and barren tree  and two characters will be visible there. While in film there are two male character and painting has male and female this is first difference and another difference is in  painting they are contemplating moon in forest whereas here the country side road, the above painting is believed to be the inspiration for Samuel Beckett for setting of the play ‘’Waiting For Godot” 

Tree is the only important thing in both acts, it is the thing which Vladimir remembers, it is the mark where God is going to come, it is the tree where they both decides to hang themselves but could not, it remain central object in both the acts. By growing some leaves on barren tree It can be seen as ray of hope. In other way it also can be seen as it has nothing to do with hope or God, its natural phenomena.. 

As in archetypes of literature clearly suggests evening as dying stage of life and night as death, we have here two old characters on dying stage of their life. As in both acts they are waiting for Godot at evening time thus there will be no happy ending of their waiting.  There is progression of evening in to night and moon rises but there is no sign of Godot, and it is just the early stage of the night thus the hope/day is very far.

.It gives gloomy and uncomfortable feelings like something very bad has happened and after that there is wild silence.. Something has rotten and in a sense it gives nauseate feeling for the place it make it more barren.  

opening line of the play  “nothing to be done”, and it continues to repeat throughout the play. this nothingness is the theme of the play, as in this play at micro level many thing happens but in reality nothing happens, as two tramps are waiting for godot but “no one comes no one goes nothing happens” things and words are only repeated. We see characters are waiting for the Godot but their wait is endless. They plan to commit suicide but they could not, there is nothing like usefulness all is meaningless there is no change at all. And both the time boy come at the end of the acts that nothingness and uselessness of waiting is clearly pointed out.    

The rotten place just like a land deserted after war. But the main thing which is positive in the play is that the two characters  keep waiting, their hope in Godot does not die. They have strong faith in Godot that he will come. Even as reader we don’t know since when they are waiting. At the end of both the acts boys comes and say Godot is not going to come today but he will surely come tomorrow, this keep us hope for tomorrow, there will be a day when Godot will come and save them. At certain point of the play they think to commit suicide, but they do not, this is positive thing in the play as life itself is the problem but suicide is not a solution.

The boot symbolize the physical strength, not thoughtful in other way it also can be s  The hat is symbol of intellect as Vladimir a thinker and play with the hat. Even when Pozzo wants lucky to think he asks to put hat on head and Lucky starts his unstoppable babble.  Even Pozzo said that lucky can’t think without Hat. 

its really  most irritating, it gives nauseate feeling, obedience is good but too much. Humans are same as character like Lucky who never had seen the god but still goes on worshiping we never try to make free our self  away from the  fear of god. And we pretend as if we like the servitude to God. Not only to see in the play but when we look at the blind people  followers of any religions we will  feel that what is the use of this worship and all because we don’t know tha God is really exist or not.   

In my opinion it can be any of the God, object of desire, ambition or goal and death. in my opinion it is the final truth the Death, and it is also an object of desire which frequently changing.

I agree with the point that the subject of the play is waiting and not Godot. Throughout the play the two men characters are constantly go on waiting- which is such a boring task. Though they are waiting for Godot but even they don’t know who Godot is how he looks and even don’t know the place they are waiting is right or not. It is the wait for something to end and something to begin. Waiting is such activity like it kills the time and by killing the time trying to kill life.

Reading is better option  because it has witty dialogues and it flows in torrent speed thus audience could not get time to ponder on particular sentence and it may happen that audience may not understand in the way it was expected by the writer.
