thinking activity for the play of ' waiting for godot '

Here , i am given  my  interpretation  about  the play  of  ' waiting  for  Godot'  


RESPECTED  SIR ,



Q.1 . What  Connection  do  you  see  in the  setting  (''A  country road  A  tree evening '') of  the play and  these  paintings ?

ans.  yes, that the  connection  between  this  painting  and  the  setting  of this  play . this  painting's  look  is closely  related  to this  setting  of the play . well in the  setting ''A country  road '' means  way of  god , and ''A tree evening '' means as a tree is looking  like  a cross.even  sun also rising , so it means rising to hope.again  that this  painting's  name is ' Longing' but Beckett  uses 'Waiting'. and Longing  means  waiting  .so Beckett says  that ''waiting for  Godot '', so in this  painting and in the setting of this play  describes to they two persons are waiting for the  god.


Q.2 . IN both  acts , evening  falls in to night and Moon rises ,How  would  you like  to  interpret  this ' coming  of night  and  moon' when actually they  are  waiting  for  Godot?

ans. In this both acts , Evening  falls in to  night and moon rises then the  night is signified  to  'end' so the  nature continuously  passes of the  time ,that  the nature never  wait  for the  time and  everything  and  natural necessary non-stop ,working in own way .but at  that situation  in the  human hope is not died .they  are  continuously  waiting for Godot.

Q.3.The  tree  is the  only  important  'thing' in  the  setting .What  is  the  importance of  tree in both  acts ? Why  does  Beckett  grow  a  few  leaves  in act 2 on the  barren tree - The  tree  has  four or  five  leaves.

ans. yes , the tree is  important  symbol  in the  both  acts ,in the  first act  the barren  tree  is  growing  a  few leaves ,that it means 'hope '  and  the tree  suggested  to the  second world war  and  in the act -2  on the barren tree  has four or five leaves  grow , so its  means they are  continuously hope about the waiting for the GOD.

Q.4. The  Director  feels  the  setting  with  some  debris .can you read  any meaning in the contours of  debris  in the  setting  of  the  play ?

ans. yes, i can read  in the  setting  of  the play on some  debris .first of all Debris means ,'Destroyed', 'Brokenness', 'Emptiness' so something  is brooked it and destroyed, its  symbol of  second world war and the Director was shown the setting of this play  in destroyed place , not seen in to this play  the beautiful nature ,but we can see in this plays atmosphere and stoned-place. so its symbol of  debris.

Q.5. The  play  begins  with the  dialogue ''Nothing  to be  done ''. How does  the theme of  'Nothingness'  recurse in the play ?

ans. The  play  begins  with the  dialogue ''Nothing  to be done '' in this plays main theme is  'Nothingness' .we can see this play in all characters are doing meaningless and unreasonable activities.

Q.6 How  are the  props like Hat and Boots used in the  play ? what is the symbolic significance  of these  props ?

ans. this two props is very  related  to this  play .in this two props with  compare two characters .well Hat  represented to intellectual thinking .so Vladimir plays with Hat and he think logically .and other way in Boots  represented  thinking without logic , unnecessary thinking ,so Estragon  plays with  Boot ,and his thinking  unlogical.

Q.7Do you  agree: ''The  play ( waiting for Godot ) we agreed ,was a positive play ,not negative ,not pessimistic ,as i saw it with my blood  and skin and eyes ,the philosophy is ; ''no matter what - atom bombs , anything - life goes on you can kill yourself ,but you can't kill life ,'' (E.G. Marshal  who played  Vladimir in original Broadway  production 1950's )?

ans.yes , i agree , this  play ' waiting for GODOT' was  a positive play , because this play in showing  that , what is reality  of life  and every movements , all characters are doing  nothing  activities  in our way . this plays theme is purely proved .then Vladimir and estrogen 's  logic was not clear and their thinking  mirror of nothingness , but also that their  hope for  the  waiting of god is not died .so its very significant.

Q.8 . Which  of  the  following  sequence  you liked  the most ....

ans. i like  the most sequence  of  Lucky's speech and  the  conversation of Vladimir  with  the boy .


thank you .....
