Paper No: 9
Waiting for Godot
• Two Tramps
• Arrival of someone
• Engage in a variety of discussion
• “Nothing to be done”
• Lucky and Pozzo, master-slave
• “But surely tomorrow “
Image of Tree
• The tree as the Cross
• Image of the tree with two tramps
• The image of Christ and two thieves
• Crucified along with Christ
The tree of Life
• It can viewed the tree of life
• In act 2, expression of hope in few leaves
• Nothing happens , no desires were fulfilled
• Though there is a hope, the day is repeated
very much like the last
• Wang, since there are leaves, “waiting is no
longer hopeless. Waiting gives significance to
existence.”
Lucky and Pozzo’s Relationship
 Lucky as a slave
• Slave-master relationship
• Symbol for the
relationship between
humans and God
• Pozzo shows fraternity
among people
• We are habituated to tied
without rope
Vladimir’s definition of God
• The boy is asked, what
color beard Godot has..
• “I think it is white, sir”
• “Christ have mercy on
us!”
• Waiting, as they are
waiting for salvation
• Concept of Parmatma
and moksh
• Celestial City
Godot as a God
The Boy as the Messenger
• Bearing important message from Godot
• As an angel descending from heaven
• Message is one fake hope
• Terms of Salvation and Damnation
• Godot’s treatment of the boy and his brother
Biblical Reference
• Shepherd divides his
sheep from the goats
• He shall set the sheep
on his right hand, the
goats on the left
• One of the thieves
crucified beside Jesus
is saved
• While the other is not
Atheism in play
Godot doesn’t come
• Same cycle of false hope
• Waiting for salvation, will never come
• Major existential theme of God who has left
people
• People can’t do anything, ‘to pass time’
• Suffering means testing the life
• Human beings will be patient to wait on God’s
arrival
• Thought of human existence
• Seemingly absurd
