We often are in such a state, as if we are always waiting for someone to appear or something to happen. When we are unable to wait, we begin to become anxious and uneasy, and our emotions are like drifting islands. The waiting for nothing makes people feel powerless, as if we have lost the basis of existence.
is like Estragon and Vladimir in " Waiting for Godot ". Every day, they are waiting for a person named Godot . They don't know who Godot is and why they have to wait for him.
From the beginning to the end, they kept doing boring and slippery things, saying something boring and boring that seemed philosophical but repeated. I took off my boots and put them on my hat and put them on my hat. I couldn't wait for the next day to come again, and said the same thing over and over again, and time was spent in meaninglessness and goallessness.
Every evening, there will be a little boy from Godot's messenger to tell them: "Godot will not come today."
These seemingly meaningless plots, scenes and characters' dialogues seem to imply that life is absurd. When we wait until the end, there is nothing. Life is empty, boring and painful. Living is a meaningless waiting. You are like this, he is like this, and everyone lives in an absurd world.
"Waiting for Godot" is Samuel Beckett's representative work and is also his most well-known work. It is considered a classic work of absurd drama . It is about what happened two dusks, but there is no plot at all. The themes the author wants to express through this work are: death, loneliness, emptiness, pain, boredom, these are the essence of life.
Samuel Beckett was born in Ireland and came to Paris in his early years. After of World War II, he stayed in France to engage in literary and artistic creation. After experiencing World War II , he fully expressed his pessimistic and world-weary attitude with the words "waiting for Godot".
dialogue is simple or even slightly illogical, the characters are simple or even slightly boring, the scene is simple or even a little monotonous, the plot is simple or even repetitive. This series of simple elements creates daily inertia waiting, and also urges the drama actors to think about this absurd drama .
"Let's go", "We can't", "Why?" "We are waiting for Godot"
At the same time, we can also see that waiting for Godot has become a belief, and Godot symbolizes a better tomorrow. "When Godot is here, we will be saved."
In addition to waiting, they still have a glimmer of hope for life, but unfortunately, "the hope has not come for a long time, and the people who are waiting for it after a long time of hardship."
Godot will never come, so the waiting continues, tomorrow continues, life continues. All that is left is life without purpose, an endless cycle.
