Review on 'Waiting for Godot'

This blog is in response to the worksheet on 'Waiting for Godot'. 
You can find the worksheet on 'Waiting for Godot' here.


I was very confuse about this play from very beginning. But one thing I mainly mention that this play is about nothingness and nothingness is something is the main thing in this play. It is known as absurdity. Existentialism means to do what you want to do, what mentioned in that video that "if you want to throw out Nietzsche then you can throw him out it is Existentialism. "
But this movie helps us to understand play, plot and structure. It is quit monotonous. Here in this image we can see that two person are standing and they are just standing only. They are even doing NOTHING. So here idea of nothingness emerges. They are in hat and they are even not well-dressed. They are just going on talking and talking and talking and doing what?? Just waiting for any person named Godot. Here we can compare this idea with that idea that a person born on the earth and after that person died and in between what he/she doing is just some activities to make oneself busy. So they are also doing the same. They are talking nonsense in sense of waiting for somebody who is not even known to them. Even we also don't know about death then even we are waiting for our death in every single moment of our like. So this is just 'Waiting for Godot'. 
Thank you..
