Waiting for Godot is a two-act tragicomedy by Irish modernist playwright samuel beckett, which premiered on 1953. Waiting for Godot is a tragedy in which nothing happened, no one came and no one left.

The works focus on people's mentality, the process of psychological activities and the obstacles of people's psychological activities. The characters in the work have no distinct personality, and the work has no coherent story. Waiting for Godot is a real innovation in the history of drama, and it is also the first absurd drama successfully performed.

Gordo is at least the savior who can bring them hope. If two vagrants symbolize contemporary westerners, then Godot symbolizes the hope that they have been waiting for but have no hope of realizing.

Extended data:

Waiting for Godot breaks through the inherent mode of literary description, with little change in the development of the drama plot, overlapping stage scenes and mechanical dramatic actions, which symbolizes the cycle of life content, but nothing has happened;

On the other hand, the dialogue between characters violates the technical norms of pursuing Miao Yan's allegorical discourse, and often uses boring subconscious monologues and unintelligible dialogues to show the extreme confusion of absurd society on human thinking and language expression.

Waiting for Godot shows a basic theme of absurd drama through absurd characters, absurd plots, absurd language, absurd stage design and absurd dramatic effects: the world is unknowable, fate is impermanent, people are mean and their actions are meaningless.
