Samuel
Beckett's Waiting for Godot presents a highly absurd situation of two tramps-
Vladimir and Estragon, waiting for someone called Godot, who doesn't come. Both
the tramps follow the same routine every day, come and stand under a tree, wait
for Godot, indulge in senseless activities, keep on waiting the whole day,
decide to begin afresh the next day. They wait for Godot, try to pass their
time, but be never arrives. Estragon and Vladimir symbolise the human condition
as a period of waiting. In the second act, the play is a mere replication of
the first act with only one or two changes. Lucky accompanied by his master
Pozzo comes in the first act, but in the second, the situation is reversed.
Lucky is the master, Pozzo is his slave, who is blind now. Same way the boy arrives and informs that
Godot will not be coming that day and be will arrive the next day. But Godot
never comes and their waiting becomes endless as it is said, "Waiting is an
endless process."
