When Vladimir says that things have changed from the previous day, Estragon does not remember the previous day. Both are happier without each other but cannot part ways and go. The second act opens to the next day but there are trees on the leaves and Vladimir is singing happily. Estragon does not want to go but Vladimir thinks each should go separately but finally they go together. They try to get some information about Godot from the boy but they get to know nothing. A boy enters and tells them that Godot asked to pass on the information that he would be coming tomorrow to the same place. So like a runner he goes to the other end of the stage and kick starts from and dashes along the stage driving Lucky also out of the stage.Īfter they depart Vladimir and Estragon remember that they are waiting for Godot. Then Pozzo decides to leave but he cannot. All the three push him down, take off his hat and trample it to get him to stop talking. Once the hat is put on Lucky who was silent till then goes to speak gibberish and it goes on non-stop. Vladimir and Estragon is not impressed with the dance and to think Lucky has to put the thinking hat. They then get to see Lucky dance and think. Pozzo, they realize is going to the market to sell Lucky and hearing this Lucky cries as he does not want to leave his master. Estragon eyes the chicken Pozzo is eating and wants the bone but does not get it because Lucky always gets to eat the bone. Vladimir reacts strongly to this but soon retreats. He is leashed and is treated as an animal. Pozzo and Lucky come on to the stage and Vladimir and Estragon think it is Godot but Pozzo says he is not Godot and then witness how Pozzo treats Lucky, his servant. Suddenly they hear a sound and they huddle together waiting for something to happen. While they wait they discuss thieves in the Gospel, they suddenly doubt if they are waiting at the correct place and the correct time. Vladimir and Estragon seem to be inseparable friends and they together wait for Godot. There is no rhyme or reason for what is happening a play that is completely different. The conversation and action of these two friends are unrelated for most part. The audience has the liberty to come to any kind of conclusion or interpretation. Why they wait for him or who he is, is never revealed. Then little boys come in as messengers.Īll through the play Vladimir and Estragon wait for Godot. There are two main characters Vladimir and Estragon and they are joined by another two Pozzo and Lucky. Since there are many loose ends there are many interpretations, the most famous being that he adapted Sigmund Freud’s theory into this play.
It is considered as an important play in the English language. Beckett had written this in French and he translated it into English as well. If there is an absurdity play that has caught the imagination and the admiration of people all over the world then it “Waiting For Godot” written by Samuel Beckett.
