What is the meaning of life? What is the purpose of it? Why human being born and die? The
play “Waiting for Godot” asks numerous questions like these but answers none. Through the
play “Waiting for Godot”; the playwright Samuel Beckett tries to limn human being’s afloat
life through two characters “Vladimir” (Didi) and “Estragon” (Gogo). In the play; two men,
Vladimir and Estragon met each other near a leafless tree. Estragon had spent the previous
night lying in a ditch and receiving a beating from some unnamed assailants. Both discussed
numerous issues; and they were eagerly waiting for a man, called “Godot”. They were in
utter confusion and dilemma, because they never met him before and even, they had no idea
whether he would show up or not. Was “Godot” a God in the play? Or he was just a common
man.
