Publisher's Synopsis
Waiting for godot. Hailed as a classic of postmodern drama and also as a successful absurd play, Samuel Beckett shows the predicament of hollow human beings on earth. It is also a rare existential gem that moved the hardcore criminals of France and the play is memorable because of its blending of pathos and bleak comedy. The concept of a human being as a solitary individual is shown in this play with all its oddities and vain attempts to survive. The play exhibits the extreme core of every human being who is forced to live in an alien universe. The present book attempts to describe the deeper meaning inherent in the play and dissects it from multiple points of view.
