Respected sir,
Waiting for Godot
1). The setting of
the play is A country road. A tree. Evening. Here are two picture to
compare . in one picture there is a rising sun which given hope to the
person because day started with sun rising its given ray of hope. And
second picture connected with longing.
2). The tree is only
important thing in both the act. We can see the tree without leaf in
first act and second act we can see some leaf leaves on tree. So, we see
here some long time passed a way . So, it is reflects nothingness and
nothing happened here.
3). Coming of night and moon rises is a
very significant and also connected with human life because night show
time is going very quickly and second moon rises gives hope that another
day will come and same thing happen in our life.
4).
Dictionary meaning of debris scattered pieces of rubbish or remains. And
here director want to show the nothingness of life and also suggests
ww-ll
5). The play begins with the dialogue "Nothing to be
done" and Nothingness is a main theme in the play. Because nothing
happened in this play and nothing change, no body come, no body goes,
place are also not change, so, many dialog repeated again to again. So,
Nothingness is a appropriate theme in the play.
6). Yes I agree the play was a positive not negative because this play shows reality of our day to day life.
7).Hat
and boot are symbolical significance in the play “waiting for Godot”.
Vladimir play with hat so i think hat suggest that Vladimir is a very
thinking man. And here Estragon suggest his boots. So, Estragon is a not
thinking man rather than Vladimir.
8). Lucky is a slave of
Pozzo. Pozzo is treating him very rudely. This type of obedience is
unbelievable at some extent. But if you see our blind faith in God is
equally unnatural like Pozzo-Lucky relationship.
9). According to
me Godot is Nothing, at the same time everything because it is open for
personal interpretation. once Beckett was asked - who is Godot? he
replied that if I would knew, then I might have told it in play.
10).
Yes I agree that the subject of the play is not Godot but waiting
because Vladimir and Estragon both are do waiting, both are don't know
who is Godot . and at the end Godot is not come and both are wait for
him.
11). Yes I like reading rather than viewing because this
play going on very quickly and language are also different. I prefer
reading because this play written in simple and easy language. So, I
easily understand.
12). The sequence I like most Pozzo lucky
episode in both the acts because this episode suggest slave and master
relation in our world and how slave are doing every thing for his
master.
13). This play shows the absurdity of life and
meaninglessness of Everybodys life. And also Existentialism talk about
absurdity and suicidein our day to day life.
14). As we know
that the play is written after world war –ii and Here, Beckett tries to
put all countries together like Vladimir as Russia, Estragon as France,
Pozzo as Italy and Lucky as England. The one country is missing i.e
Germany represents Godot . Pozzo describe as the master of lucky . here
we can compare Germany and Hitler’s Nazism. Fight between capitalism vs
Marxism. All these things reminds us second world war and it’s outcome
15).Master
slave relation has presented by Pozzo and Lucky, but the extreme
obedience of Lucky is problematic here that he can be free but he don’t
want to be free. So we could not clearly point out the connection of
Ireland and England for the play.

Act- 1
BOY: - What am I to tell Mr. Godot, Sir?
VLADIMIR: Tell him . . . (he hesitates) . . . tell him you saw us. (Pause.) You did see us, didn't you?
Act – 2
BOY: What am I to tell Mr. Godot, Sir?
VLADIMIR:
Tell him . . . (he hesitates) . . . tell him you saw me and that . .
(he hesitates) . . . that you saw me. (Pause. Vladimir advances, the Boy
recoils. Vladimir halts, the Boy halts. With sudden violence.) You're
sure you saw me; you won't come and tell me tomorrow that you never saw
me!
THANK YOU......
