Samuel Beckett written by this play ''Waiting for Godot ''

 1)

 

 Samuel Becket play Waiting for Godot is inspirational setting .and this setting part of country road,evening.This painting ''Longing' has significe in present something roots of the play in painting.Casper David Friedrich (image setting )and pounder on the past incidents in World War two.and rising of moon even signifies the hope of Godot coming.

According to the art critic Robert Hughes, in an article on Friedrich,

''If there is one word for the mood of Friedrich's picture it is ''Longing''- the desire,never satisfied ,to escape from the secular condition of life into union with a distant nature ,to be absorbed in it,to become one with the great other,whether that other is a mountain crag,an ancient but enduring tree,the calm of a horizontal sea,or the stillnessof a cloud''

  Act 1 tree has no leaves tree was barren.but Vladimir and Estragon more time passes to waiting for Godot but didn't come.A tree is important in the play in first act subjects barrenness and hopelessness. And second act few leaves grows to tree,this symbols of hope,that Godot must comes and also suggest waiting for so long time.and also reflection of nature is changing. and also reflects the reality and nothingness. Tree is connected with the Hindu religion, in many tree also polite but these are hidden symbols.In the play waiting for Godot we can see that it in first act the tree was looking barren because we could not find anny leaves into the tree. It symbol in play important because it shows death.

3) In both acts ''evening falls in to night and moon rises.Every day is same coming of night and moon,actually Vladimir and Estragon but waiting for Godotbut Godot will never come.and also our life we are waiting but nothing happened but our hope and desire is endless.

4) Setting of the play :-Debris in the setting of the play.the play suggests the effects of second world war.Debris director wants to shows the fragmentation of life and nothing.while viewing the movie we also feel the fragmentation of pieces.this pause and dialogues are very well captured by the director in the movie also.

5) ''Nothing to be done'':-Nothingness show the thing in character dialogues nothingness,there is something a hope,(A new day will come with new desire that something frutful will come for somebody in life.'Waiting for Godot',''Nothing is also better than something'' in this play gives a message that while doing nothing,doing something.Godot there is waiting which has no any end or meaning,nothingness remains in life. Nothingness keeping the center figure Vladimir and Estragon. Estragon say : ''Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes,it's awful.''

6) Yes ,I agree with this point in play Waiting for Godot.

positive(Optimistic) play not pessimistic,because we are waiting for something and think that someone will come but finally no one comes.We can see the play rubbish and meaningless. Waiting as theme of center in play ,but nothingness is something does that waiting itself.This play positive thought effect of idea of play. Hindu philosophy also say that nothingness is every action ''Maya'' has no meaning but only illusion.Karma the act of must be done.

7) In this play ''Waiting for Godot'' props

(Boots and Hat)significance symbols.two props shows the connection between writer and message.Hat on the head shows interllectuality of person and boots shows psysical power(material life) and hat may signs it well another is when pain on the they feel it shows,suffer of life.

8) yes, it seems that the obedience of lucky is extremely irritating and nauseatic.Lucky is a slave of pozzo.Pozzo is treating very rudely.this type of obedience is unbelivable.we see in our human personality ,but if you blind faith in God is equally unnatural like pozzo lucky relationship.

9) According to my point of views,Godot is nothing.interpretation is possible that Godot is nothing but God.Estragon and Vladimir have so many expectation from godot,when he will come our all suffering will end.we all thought that Godot is also God.Beckett,also say that as we compare with our life ,we all are waiting for something. Life itself is nothing but waiting.

10) The subject of the play is not Godot but ''Waiting''(Martin Esslin, ''Search for the self) Martin Esslin argues that ''Waiting is more important not Godot.waiting is essential human condition of life. Esslin also say that all talking about Godot but Waiting is center in this play.Godot is only symbol, metaphor,throughout our life ,we all waiting something.

11)In this play like a better understood by reading not by watching.because,it requires a lot of thinking . we can read in our own way ,but in this movie version it goes very speedy.That not clear dialoguses in proper way,In movie dialogues are spoken too fast it difficult to understand. Audio visual is helpful in understand in better way. are spoken too fast it difficult to understand. It also that this types of play first to read rather than act.

12) Entire movie is carefully presented with many intresting conversation between Vladimir and Estragon killing time and Lucky and pozzo,etc

I like the most in ''Boy and Vladimir dialogues'' ,even in the boy come ,is confusing that there is same boy or not? This Vladimir and Boy conversation is very short.Boy mostly replies in Yes or No only ,not give to answer.

13) Yes,In this play many time while viewing the movie i feel the effect of existential crisis or meaninglessness in human being existence in the irrational and indifference universe..Basically the play 'Waiting for Godot ''is a absurd play. Here belonging and purpose in nature.In the play first of all this is a kindly experiment Beckett does with his play.Generally tramps are those people who are out casted from the society.

This desire connected with my desire of something,this desire.And when word ''My come,Existentialism also come may be the character are in search of Becket himself apply universal touch that maybe this search of all of us .In our life each and every mode we are alwayes in search of something,all the time we want something.(search for self)

14) Political reading mainly concern with the French resistance to Germany.It was an intresting political movement of cold war(Debris).here in this context we find autobiographical things in this play.Samuel was the disciple of james.and james who don't like the England. Here in this play relationship of Pozzo and Lucky it presents master slave relationship,Pozzo -Italian name Lucky-english name .and on the other hand sadistic relationship of England and Ireland.

15) /16)

Vladimir and Estragon talks about ''hanging themselves and commit suicide,but they do not so ,because of hope that Godot will come tomorrow , and he do will everything.

At last conclude with it that A new day will come with new desire that something fruitful will come for somebody in life.one or two ways it may be God ,fruitful desire will come for somebody who is eagerly waiting that has noany end.

Thanking you........
