Waiting for Godot

This post is in response the worksheet on Waiting for Godot http://dilipbarad.blogspot.in/2014/09/worksheet-screening-movie-waiting-for.html
 
That Vladimir and Estragon hanging them from tree a reference to the crucifixion. But it is also religious symbol .Here tree may be dead. When the second act opens there are four or five leaves on the tree proving that the tree is alive. Than if here we are show the setting is the same in Act-1and Act – 2also .Because in both act moon rise and evening fall into night. And here Vladimir and Estragon both were waiting for Godot in both act .And Pozzo and Lucky were coming in both act also .In short, mostly same activities were repeatedly in both act.
                    The play waiting for Godot was conveying the impression of some truths about the hopeless destiny of human race. And here Samuel said, “Human being waiting is no longer hapless. Waiting gives signification of existence “.
                    Here two tramps in the same cycle of waiting for a salvation that will never come. But both characters are easily passed his days, with full of passion .And how they are doing such activities like, discuss name of Pozzo, because it is very similar with Godot. And full observation on lucky, also both are sing a song .So here according to me the subject of play is like “waiting “. Because Vladimir and Estragon easily waiting for Goddot. End of the act,
Estragon: Well, shall we go?

 Vladimir: Yes, let’s go.
So, in both of act they are thinking about suicide but not success. But here they do not move .Here may be Estragon changed point of view of audience that Vladimir and Estragon are part of universe too .Because here they are “WATING” and it is also activities of waiting , an universal condition .
                   In short, play is part of Theatre of Absurd. And this play is start as an arbitrary point and also ends like same.
