Behind a tree Mr. Godot. They not
have seen Godot. Don’t know how does he look Godot where meet? Where place?
“Waiting
for Godot” is one of the most famous dramatic works of 20th century.
It is regarded as landmark in the development of modern British drama.
The play is a fable about a kind of life
that has no longer any point which could be presented in the form of a fable.
According
to the ‘G. S. Fraser’
“Waiting for Godot”
as a modern morality plays on a permfent a Christian themes. Godot stands for
an anthropomorphic image of God. The symbols of the and the rags worn by the
tramps have a distantly Christian relevance for frasen”.
In
the play partially nothing happens. There is nothing done. No development is to
be found. And there is beginning to end the entire action boils down to this a
country road near a tree to tramps estragon and Vladimir idle away their time.
Waiting tor Godot who never come?
Two strangers, a cruel master and his half-crazy
slave cross their path, and soon depart
At the end of the first act, a massager
from Godot arrives and says that he will come tomorrow
In
the second act the waiting goes on the other pair pass by once more, but the
master is Pozzo now blind and the slave is dumb. Theyexited.
A genuine triaged produces in us
a sense of the grandeur of human nature Oedipus, Hamlet. The duchess of malfi,
Tess, Santiago lettering way’s novel the old man and the sea are only a few example
of tragic heroes who offer an editing spectacleof human suffering, human
endurance, and human dignity. But we do not have any such character in waiting
for Godot.
The two tramps are poor specimens of humanity. Estragon,
Tearful, Timid, forgetful, devoid, self-respect, Vladimir certainly brave,
mentallyalert and determined but otherwise not much above the average in any
respect. Pozzo is hatful tyrant in Act-1 and a contaminable pithier
character.
Nothing is happen in the play
Nothing happen in the play meaning of lifeitself
What
is meaning of lite a death Human being for answer bettor a death.
Reality
is who I am. Ram, Rahim, Salim in after the give in applied Hindu Muslim.
Who are we human being always a limited
people thing? No language for express birth.
The keynote to this play is to be found in
the memorable word which Estrogen utter with regard to his own life and life of
his friend Vladimir. Those words are.
“Nothing happens, nobody comes,
Nobody goes its awful!”
“There is nothing done in it; no
development is to be found; and there is in beginning and no end”.
A human being answer a before a death.
Some of the utterances in
the course of the play produced a deeply tragic effect on us. To take only a
few examples, Estragon at once point says,
“Nothing happens, nobody comes
Nobody goes, it’s awful”
At another point Estragon thus express
his misty,
“All my lousy life I’ve crawled about
in the mud!
And you talk to me about scenery!
You and your landscapes! Tell me about the
worms!
Again, we have the following bit of
dialogue:
Estragon: - Ah! What’ all we do,
what’ll we do!
Vladimir: - There’s nothing we can do.
Estragon: - But I can’t go on like
this!
Remark like these heighten, deepen, and intensity the tragic quality of
this hopeless play.
Always connected with thinking habit.

And boredom he could dispense with plot. As a character
was without history, he could dispense with background. All that was left was a
Skelton of language, logic and wit
“The dialogue is maintained even though there is nothing to say, and it
is maintained by the single divine of instant forgetfulness”.
It is as if
thick fog of boredom surrounded every event and every word the moment it
occurred 0r was spoken.

It is a very comedy some play the comic tragedy through
the play.
Waiting for
Godot is a comic play it is certainly a funny play in parts. It has number of
comic elements which include same cloning acts borrowed from the circus and
amusing cross Falk borrowed from the music hall. But essentially it is a
serious. Even tragic play. It is not tragedy in the traditional play. We far
from the “Aristotle’s “conception of tragedy and we are very far indeed ‘Shakespeare’
tragedy.
Yet it is appropriate to describe a waiting for Godot as
a tragic play. It is tragic in the sense that.
’It makes
us keenly aware of human.
Predicament and human misery; it also
Produces
in us the feeling of misery, fear
Pity and even awe”.
However instead of giving rise to any exhilaration that
comes through catharsis, Life is presented as black and hopeless, even though
it has its funny side. The play is a dramatization of the themes of habit,
boredom and the “suffering of being” Toward the close of the play.
For
instance the Vladimir says that
“Habit is great
deadener”
The play is also about waiting, ignorance and impotence.
“The feeling of despair.”
Very opening words of estragon “Nothing to be done.”
Which he speaks
write reference chiefly to his failure to pull of his boots and which are
echoed soon afterword by Vladimir
The
feeling of helpless is also conveyed to us in very opening dialogue when we are
told that Estragonhas been beaten as usual by “the same lot ”of unknown person
during the night which he felt compelled to spend in a ditch.

Conclusion
The
play also converges on certain star statements the eloquence of which has
sometimes created an impression that they convey the “meaning” of the play.
However,
according to one view to Beckett’s characters experience Beckett’s own anguish
and that anguish then becomes our anguish. If we assimilate this anguish into
our particular experience, we shall have the catharsis Aristotle talked about
besides, the mutual attachment of the two main protagonists in this play is
something which raises them in our estimation and makes them truly tragic.
