Waiting for Godot (Act 2), by Samuel Beckett.

A song about dog whose steal bread is being onto death and the other dog beat him. which could represents that community and how we take away what we want and no body care until we dead. its worn the future generation not to do that, not to live the way. In this song, Estragon discusses loneliness, how after we are happy along without our society.

Estragon also talks about beaten. he did not do anything, but they beat him which means that problems is nothing. he only knew the people beat him, they were Ten of them which represents a commandments that means world’s of society beat him and all the issue of society beaten him down.

They also talks about tree which was found yesterday, now they have leaves which represent the tree of life which means lives people. the author telling us die is not enough either, you have to do something, and you have to be something.

Here also, talks about boot so more. Estragon found his boot, but he claims this is hot hos boot because his boot was black on grey. Behind this idea that  we accept God, but we do not really accept him in personal.

Another character, Pozzo. here shows that Pozzo was  a blind, but he really was not.

At the ending, it focuses on birth and death. The boy comes and tells them Godot does nothing. Godot does not do anything, we have to find in. Estragon and Vladimir does not understand. They only knew that they both waiting for Godot, but did not know what are reasons behind for it.

  1. Yes, the characters are always bringing up Estrogen’s boot for some reason. Overall, this play was very strange. In Act 1, we see that Vladimir and Estragon are waiting for Godot. In the meantime, they come along two other characters; Lucky and Pozzo. They eventually go to sleep after a long day of waiting only to wake up the next and repeat the whole situation again, only that this time Pozzo is blind and Lucky can’t talk. The strange thing about this play is that nobody seems to remember what happened the day before nor recognize each other except Vladimir? Why does Vladimir remember everything that happens except the other characters? Another strange thing in the play is the tree. The tree has no leaves in Act one but the “next” day, it magically seems to be full of leaves. I don’t think one day has passed by like Vladimir claims. It seems to me that months have passed by because drastic changes like these don’t happen from one day to the next. That also includes Pozzo and Lucky; Pozzo can’t see and Lucky can no longer talk. Last but not least, Estragon and Vladimir wait this whole time for a man that they don’t know and claim will bring them “salvation” but Godot NEVER shows up! Now, these two characters are contemplating on committing suicide but they decide to wait a little longer. It’s a pointless never ending cycle.

  2. Despite the other facts and interpretation in this play which has different meaning for different people, culture and religious, I found the following duality in the play also interesting.
    Waiting for Godot is chock-full of pairs. There’s Vladimir and Estragon, the two thieves, the Boy and his brother, Pozzo and Lucky, Cain and Abel, and of course the two acts of the play itself.
    With these pairs comes the repeated notion of arbitrary, 50/50 chances. One thief is saved and other damned, but for no clear reason:
    VLADIMIR
    Our Saviour. Two thieves. One is supposed to have been saved and the other… (he searches for the contrary of saved)… damned. (1.64)
    If Vladimir and Estragon try to hang themselves, the bough may or may not break. One man may die, one man may live. Godot may or may not come to save them. In the Bible, Cain’s sacrifice was rejected and Abel’s accepted for no discernible reason.
    So many pairs and so much arbitrary damnation. Even the tone of Waiting for Godot is filled with duality: two-person arguments, back-and-forth questions, disagreement-agreement, questions and (often inadequate) answers.
