My Response
Respected Sir,
This are my views about the play “Waiting for Godot” and its related things.
In play we have ‘waiting’ and in the painting ‘longing’. Both stand for a desire. Apart from it there is a stony path in both. And the painting is inspiration for Buckett, we can see on one side there is a barren tree and on the other side a grown tree (full of green leaves). So, perhaps a person by the side of barren tree is Estragon (with blank mind) and a person by the side of grown tree is Vladimir (full of thought).
This second question I would like to connect with question 6 that are E.G.Marshal’s words. Whatever is happening but life goes on. The four-five leaves are the symbol of it. In First act they get despair that Godot is not coming, and just after it tree has a leaves.
Night perhaps brings calmness, coolness and peace for them, who are feeling pain and despair in waiting for Godot.
Apart from the debris, There is one another thing to observe. That is the setting shows only a piece of the path or way. What is behind the tree, and the way from where people go and come, we are not shown. That means at a time we cannot a full thing (whatever it is life, meaning, world or even thought). And about the debris I want to say that it shows roughness of the things, means nothing is smooth or easy going in life, meaning, world or even thought.
For hat and boot we saw almost all the meanings but one more thing I want to say that hat is for ambition with fear and boot is for satisfaction with peace. We saw at the end Vladimir says to the boy: “Tell him . . . (he hesitates) . . . tell him you saw me and that . . . (he hesitates) . . . that you saw ME.” Estragon hasn't any ambition to look good to Godot and as he has not powerful thinking ability he has not any fear of Godot also.
Actually Godot is ‘nothing’. And we all are waiting for nothing in fact, not even for the death or God. Because both we haven’t seen yet, so there can be curiosity but it is not waiting. If we are waiting for something, we are surrounded by its thought; at least we know that for what we are waiting. If you are waiting for death or God, then recall, how many times in a day you are thinking for God or Death (or whatever you are waiting for)? If the world has not any meaning then also we are not waiting for death. Now I want to tell about Buckett’s Godot and its interpretation. Perhaps ‘Godot’ stands for ‘meaning’ here. The characters are searching for some ‘meaning’ as time and again that words come “I don’t know”.
I think we cannot break the title in parts like ‘waiting’ or ‘Godot’. The subject is whole “waiting for Godot”, where both ‘waiting’ and ‘Godot’ has equal importance. If the subject is only ‘waiting’ or ‘Godot’ then perhaps the writer would kept that only. But he kept both together.
I liked conversation of Vladimir with the boy and Lucky-Pozzo episode in the second act.
About existential crisis, Yes, I felt it at some extent. I can think about it but certainly I am not still at that level that I have to feel such deep things. I have not yet seen life from very near. But yes, in some dialogues we can see author’s own turmoil. For example, “I don’t seem to be able to depart”-says Pozzo. “Such is life”-answers Estragon. And it is also connected with Vladimir and Estragon’s thinking about suicide.
Thank You for sharing it with various links and videos.
