'Waiting For Godot':-

Respected Sir,Here is my interpretation on the movie screening of 'Waiting For Godot':-
1)A country road, Tree & Evening (Setting):-Samuel Blackett's the present play 'Waiting for Godot' intentionally focus on the setting part where country road,tree & evening are symbolizes well.painting 'Longing' has such significance to present here something. With some slight changes it can pounder on the past incidents too where World War 2 is images deliberately or indirectly can see through garbage or unconstructed things.evening falls by rising of moon even signifies the hope of Godot's coming & tree has equal significance to depicts something there.
2)Importance of Tree:-With the two sides of perspective it can be pointed out. First positive side, where barren tree of very initial act become growing in the second one that may shows the sign of Godot's coming, it may be the sign of hope.another side if we try to see then it has no such connection at all.as it's can considered natural rule of the nature & it has nothing beyond there too.another interpretation of some newly growing leaves can be as the sign of better condition of human beings after time passes though they are victimized from War.
3)Coming of night & moon:-Here fall of evening & rise of moon clearly signs towards the darkness of life.in both the act this scene is depicted & it pointed out somehow the end of both the character.after meaningless waiting they ultimately goes nearer to the end. Sunset itself shows the ending of light & beginning of darkness.
4)Debris in the setting:-Unconstructed properties that we can find spreads there is a sign of World War 2 where such damage was happen & from there may be it can try to connect with the barrenness of Vladimir & Estragon that they have in their life & to be free from that may be they are in wait for the Godot.
5)'Nothing to be done':-Nothingness is the central idea of the play where characters are immensely waiting for Godot but in actual sense it's quite worthless.no means of their end(purpose),it's endless as well as hopeless.throughout the play,they communicate & act with some pause but it's all seems meaningless at the end where we come to know that ultimate waiting is worthless.it has nothing to filled & they still waiting is the sign of nothingness itself.
6)'Waiting for Godot' as a positive play:-Life goes on,no matter what we are gaining or losing.same here,in this play we can see that nothing happens,nobody comes,nobody seen yet Vladimir & Estragon have some hope for Godot that one day Godot will come.even with some Bibical refrence of 'One Day' shows the positive side of the play where hope remains till the end & they continuos it through waiting only.even suicide they don't do & by "Let's Go" the play ends that shows the desire to fight till the end by waiting for Godot.
7)Props(Hat & Boots):-Beginning of the play by this two props shows the connection between the intention of the writer & message that it passes.Hat on the head shows the intelactuality of the person & Boots shows the physical power that they have yet it at some point question the mentality as well as physical strength when they react uncertainly & changing Hat may signs it well,another is when pain on the leg they feel it shows the suffer of life.
8)Lucky's irritating behaviour:-Sometimes we can get chance to be free from some constructions yet we can't grab the opportunities bacause we are habituated with that construction of mind already,it can't permit us to think beyond.Lucky knows well that his master has no power to see anything yet he don't go away from him & serving him as before that question the real meaning of freedom which such character misinterpretes that by serving masters they get enjoynment & do not think for self even.this can call stupidity than loyalty that question why they can't think to get rid of & it matters here.
9)Who is Godot..?:-Godot as God:-Ending of suffer can connect it,that can be possible by God only.no significance of human being remains or matters there.Godot as Desire,Ambition or Goal:-Waiting till the end shows the crave to reach towards the final destination that is goal to see & meet Godot,to be free from problems & having good life many desired there it in a means of Godot.Godot as Death:-It shows the ultimate journey of the life where waiting may end & itself turns with the sign of death.Moon supports this idea well in it.
10)Waiting as the subject of the play instead of Godot:-Changing hat,wearing boots,doing exersice,glimpse on nature,tries to hang out & such other uncertain & at some point funny activities repeatedly doing by the character that is all about waiting,passing the time to see & meet the Godot.no doubt they waiting for godot but their waiting itself lasts till the end & even may continuos & it shows the attraction as well as crave for Godot ultimately that is the person who is completely unknown to them yet immense wait of their matters a lot here.from there it can highlighted there the ultimate destination of them for Godot.direction matters than the destination.
11)Can such plays can be read than viewed:-Definately,it can be read better than viewed.such plays have some limitations in the matter of dialogues & setting where being a audience we wants or requires some space to think deeply at a time or some connection with the space we wants to get actually accordingly.but with some drawbacks of such plays in the sense of audio visuality we can see that how much misinterpretation or irritation we may suffer there.so it can't fill the requirements of us & that's why seems something absence there to connect exactly.
12)Sequence of the play that i likes the most:-Vladimir-Estragon killing time in question & conversation while waiting:-It mainly focus on the actuality of life where communication matters a lot to continue as well as moves the life ahead & conversation between they both has such significance to display where how we are looking actually in the form of them & whatever they acts is also similar to us that we regularly feels throughout the life. Though they are waiting meaninglessly can represents us.by their talk & walk towards the path of Godot by killing time how we purchases moments can also read here yet we are used to.
13)Meaninglessness of human existence in the irrational & indifference universe:-If we come to know that whatever we suffer,whatever we struggle turns to meaningless act then what happens to us..?can't we think to modify it..?no,may be it's not in our hand to control. That's why repentance of both the character can shows there.delay of Godot they considered & connect with the punishment of God & it ultimately shows the meaninglessness of their waiting similarly we are also have thinking to possess. Instead of enjoining the movements we mostly waste it by doing & passing time in stupid things that has no actual life ever to carry further so present has such significant role than the ultimate destination.
14)Idea of Hanging:Hanging may be the way of solution to get rid from suffer & problems but it's never can give justice to us & same way Vladimir & Estragon think on it & they postponed the idea of hanging themselves & it's shows the hidden fear of God.rather praying or serving why we fearing from the God that may question here.afraid from the God instead of loving him.yet it shows the challenge to be live not die.
15)Political reading of the play:-Master-Slave relationship & selection of names can be read with the political angle. When Irishman make fun of Englishman by pronouncing the word 'Clam' may also pointed here with the same context. Yet to convey history & relate further community with it one should have wider vision to carry but Pozzo's blindness may drop it at some point. I think on the other hand Vladimir & Estragon many a time in between tries to pounder on the past that shows it diffrently.(Scene of saving Estragon by Vladimir during the incident of falling into the river.)
16)Beckett meant Pozzo to be Englishman & Lucky to be Irishman:-Being a writer one can use his personal refrences & reaction through the work to pointed something new & same here Samuel Beckett also tries to depict the idea of Irishman & Englishman.it can be read as the mentality of the writer towards such community.where one suffer under the rules of powerman & it brings through Pozzo & Lucky.fun on Englishman & satire through some scene can be read with the intension of the writer here.


Thank You.
