AN ANALYSIS OF ABSURDITY IN “WAITING FOR GODOT” BY SAMUEL BECKETT

Аннотация:

This article studies existential perspective in Samuel Beckett’s play  “Waiting for Godot” (1949). One of the primary examples of Theater of the Absurd is “Waiting for Godot”. It focuses on the “Sisyphean” (i.e., futile and repetitive) nature of human existence. However, the absurdity lies in the existentialist belief that there is no cause for life, and that our choices ultimately affect how we define ourselves while also being irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Everything is repetitive and repeating itself. As an air pocket, life is pointless. The catastrophe of global conflicts and the outcomes of that ferocity gave rise to each of these problems. Both God and the presence of individuals were mentioned. Everything is repeated and happening in a repetitive way. Life is worthless as a pocket of air. The catastrophe of global conflicts and the outcomes of that ferocity gave rise to each of these problems. Individual and divine presence were being mentioned. Every journalist who subscribed to the existentialist school of thought suggested that people should acknowledge their uniqueness and stop hoping for a savior or divine capacity to resolve human animosity.
