    On the surface, Waiting for the Barbarians appears to be a story about the struggle between civilization and savages. It tells of an impending war and describes the events leading up to this supposed war. However, the story is about so much more than a war that never happens.

    In Waiting for Godot, Beckett often focused on the idea of "the suffering of being." Most of the play deals with the fact that Estragon and Vladimir are waiting for something to relieve them from their boredom. Godot can be understood as one of the many things in life that people wait for. Waiting for Godot is part of the ‘Theater of the Absurd’. This implies that it is meant to be irrational and meaningless. Absurd theater does not have the concepts of drama, chronological plot, logical language

The two merely sit and wait; they wait for a man, perhaps a savior, named Godot. That they are waiting for Godot, as Vladimir says, is the

    Class- 2’B’ Roll no. 690 Subject- Contemporary Literature Relevance of Act 2 in Waiting for Godot Waiting for Godot is an absurdist play written by Samuel Beckett. The play seems to refuse any attempt to impose meaning systematically. The author would have us believe that time is meaningless, that repetition rules all, that inertia is manifest and human life is pointless. This idea that human life lacks meaning and purpose and that humans live in an indifferent universe is often associated with

    Chloe Martinez ENGL 3000 Professor Richard Joines 31 October 2017 Play Analysis Samuel Beckett’s plays illustrate the concepts of existentialism, such as identity, authenticity, and anxiety. A primary idea throughout Beckett’s plays is the character’s need to do something in order to feel fulfilled. This provides a false sense of purpose, and some characters are aware that they are just going through the motions, whereas others are not. The two plays that I will be using to develop this idea are
