Compose a 1000 words assignment on waiting for godot by samuel beckett. Needs to be plagiarism free! A characteristic of the absurdist theatre is the lack of proper communication which is evident in this play as well with the presence of many sentences that do not seem to be making a lot of sense. The play starts off with a conversation between the two central characters of the play, Estragon and Vladimir while the reader/ audience is left wondering what the conversation is all about. As the play progresses one finds out that Vladimir and Estragon are waiting for someone named Godot who they have never seen. The entire play proceeds without so much as an appearance of Godot, therefore in a nutshell the plot of the story revolves around waiting for a character that does not appear in the play. Apart from the two central characters, there appear Pozzo (a rich man) and Lucky (Pozzo’s slave). The interactions between Pozzo and Lucky, particularly Pozzo’s treatment of Lucky actually makes one wonder whether Lucky was a human being or an animal. It is the monologue of Pozzo with Lucky which is extremely thought provoking and forces one to actually think about the realities which shape these characters and the social stigmas that are attached to poverty, intellect, freedom and so forth. There exists a distinct naivety in Estragon, he seems to be dependent on Vladimir, this aspect is more evident in Act II of the play when after Estragon gets beaten by a few people and returns to Vlamidir, Vladimir says “…It’s because you don’t know how to defend yourself. I wouldn’t have let them beat you” (Beckett , 52).
