Hello dears… have a nice day, welcome back to my another blog . So today I am here with  one among  my personal favorite play “ Waiting for Godot ”.

    Samuel Barclay Beckett (1906-1989), also known as Samuel Beckett. Who was an author, critic, and a play Wright. He won Noble prize for Literature in 1969. He used to write his work both in French and English.  His best known play was En attendant Godot (Waiting for Godot, English translation).

    Waiting for Godot have an amazing success at the small theater de Babylon in Paris. This make Beckett world fame. An Irish writer Samuel Beckett, who introduce the Theater of the Absurd in Waiting for Godot, it was first produced in 1953 and the play Sub- titled  “A tragic comedy in two acts ”.

    The play waiting for Godot is one among the most important plays of the twentieth century. It is a new species of drama.  Waiting for Godot is quite entirely different from prose natural drama, dream play and poetic drama. It has only two acts in the play. We couldn't find any hero and story in this play. There are four characters in the play , they are two tramps, a master and a slave. The name which mention in the play does not even appear in a single act. We couldn't find any female character. Most of the dialogues in the play consist only single sentence.  Through out the play it doesn't have any mutability or change . The play is neither tragic nor comic. 

     Luc Estang called Beckett the creator of the “myth of nothingness ”.At first sight Waiting for Godot is completely a formless play, it wasn't constructed on any structural principles. As per the Aristotlelian theory it has no proper beginning, middle and an end. This tragedy is not an imitation of an action that is serious of a certain magnitude. 

    The play Waiting for Godot is so intensive . “ The suffering of being ” can find in this play. Waiting for Godot incorporates many of the themes and ideas . We can see the Existentialism in this play, but at the same time it is a mock existentialism . The play ends on a strange note of hope that the tramps would be able to come by a piece of rope with which to hang themselves the next day.
