"Waiting for Godot" is a tragicomedy play by Samuel Beckett, centered on two main characters, Vladimir and Estragon, who spend their days waiting for a mysterious figure named Godot. They believe Godot will bring them salvation or enlightenment, but he never arrives. As they wait, they engage in a series of conversations, physical routines, and philosophical reflections while encountering other characters, Pozzo and Lucky, who illustrate themes of power and human absurdity. The play explores existential themes such as the search for meaning in a seemingly indifferent universe, human dependence on hope, and the absurdity of life. The repetitive waiting and the failure of Godot to appear underscore the cyclical nature of existence and the uncertainty about purpose. The work is a cornerstone of modern theatre, often interpreted through religious, philosophical, and social lenses.
