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.
16).
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......
