Wow

woah

Brilliant revelation into the dynamic that drives the 2 characters into their circular dialog - and could it be that Vladimir and Estragon and the story teller are a metaphorical holy trinity. 3 characters in one person. A single person (the story teller) desperately trying to plumb the depths of that which is unavailable to the mortal man - "eternity" which is to say God. It also strikes me that the name Estragon is very suggestive of the female hormone estrogen. So Vladimir might well be the masculine voice always coming up with practical sounding things to do while waiting and Estrogon is fretting about what to do next - the feminine aspect of a single consciousness.

Interesting , thank you for posting !

@@51Dss why do you try to find meaning in this play? It was written with no particular intention , just enjoy it and let it go

Lol. Thats really the whole play

@@zodix44 yeah kinda, exept for dem two other dudes that show up

To fill the time while waiting, they post comments on KZfaq videos

two men both had suicidal tendency invented a imagery character to avoid suicide.

🤣🤣🤣

Same here :'DD

Already read it. The Pet Shop Boys mention Waiting for Godot in their song Red Letter Day.

maybe she's waiting for the next video!

Brilliant

@Blackbone Yes, why?

@Blackbone Actually its their playlist on 'why you should read...' topic. No one is telling you to read the playlist.

in another 3-4 billion years I would love to be able to ask those still looking at the sky waiting; "Anything yet?"

One should not forget that Estragon and Vladimir are only Persons, not real Human beings. Their only purpose is to exist, it doesn't matter what they do, they can fill a theater.

Unfortunately i think less and less people are searching for meaning, purpose or rational thinking...I'm under the impression that i see more and more people wanting to be entertained, scrolling endless meaningless content just to be distracted from ... (fill in the blank) they don't want to search for things they want answers to things, not even knowing or questioning why they believe what they believe leading to less and less constructive debates or ideas.... Just my opinion.

@@ADEehrh The reply will probably like the same or slightly changed over time.

@@1000OtherFoxes Sadly, that's the thing with humankind. We are ephimereal. Perhaps the weight of mortality and that our existence is, in many senses, unique yet easily repleceable; has took a toll on us.

I read a lot of Becket and yes, performed is a lot more catchy and funny. The physical gags works only in that way.

Is there any recorded version?

@@rachel9876 There is a movie on the play, you can watch it if you feel like to.

What an interesting take! I never thought of that

Such as finishing sentences?

You are correct. We had to study this play in Catholic school for religion class at Neil McNeil High School in Toronto. The priest teaching this course was from Ireland. His interpretation of the play went above the intelligence of most of the class. But now almost 50 years later, I have come to a new understanding of this play. Sometimes we do not have an understanding of life experiences to comprehend this play at the time it is being taught.

Nearly everything I learned in school was either taught in the most boring way possible; or very incomplete. I have learned soooo much more after my school years that I want to build a time machine go back and slap the L out of at least 3 of my "teachers"!

@@christopherfernandes4401 Oh could you please sum up what your priest/teacher taught? I'd be interested to know!

@@CK_Godoth : This play ( Waiting for Godot) by S Becket was taught by Fr John Geary at Neil McNeil High School in Toronto. Fr. Geary had many interpretations on the play ‘Waiting for Godot’. Some of his explanations were, at that time I was in high school, above my level of understanding. He talked about the play from a religious view point; the people have had the clergy “think" for them, and the clergy respond by spouting nonsensical phrases that the people cannot understand, but accept. Christ the Messiah has come and yet people are still waiting for the Messiah. Another interpretations he talked about was from the point of a Freudian analyst, where the two characters represent the ID and the Ego. Still another interpretation was from the point of Jungian analyst which was way above our heads. He discussed this play in greater detail than anyone in the class wanted.

For death

@@cal6568 maybe.. yeah.

Yh, it seems that life in itself does not give a real purpose. When we look at science, the answers what we get to these kinds of questions are that we are just a product of chance, there is no excuse for our existance and at the end we will die. Every morning we will wake up, have our morning routines and jump to our vicious cycle and repeat it day after day. However, I think we do have a meaning for our life. I do believe that the Godot we are waiting for is the God himself, since He is our maker. I think there are many good arguments why God does exist but it would seem that the best argument is how the world is seen without the existance of God. It is the choice that takes us apart of our very purpose. I said that I believe that God exists. I also believe, that 2000 years ago He came on earth in the form of Jesus Christ. He lived a perfect life and died for us on the cross. After this, Jesus was resurrected and all who believe this and accept Him as their God will have a personal relationship with Him and be resurrected as well, when He comes back. Since it would seem we do not have a purpose without God, I strongly encourage you to give Him a chance. If there is no God, there is no backfire for believing in Him. However, if there is God, there is an eternity to gain. Without God, we are trapped in this endless vicious cycle of agony and the only cure for it is death. But if God is with us, He will stand with us when we have tough time. The choice is yours.

I don't believe in god, but if I did I find that he also has no purpose, after all if we have a purpose in god, what does he have a purpose for? If it is for us then why should we have a purpose for him after all he created us therefore we could do the same and find purpose in that which we create, if he has a purpose that is not us, then what is that purpose and why should we care if it does not relate to us? (I need to state that I am an agnostic and can't believe in any current form of god as written in the major religions due to skepticism and the unreal nature of those religions, its not like I have not read the bible, but rather the act of having read it which tore my Christianity away from me) Words only have meaning if you can believe what is written and the meaning comes not from the words so much as it does from your understanding of the words. I find this true about most everything in life, if you want it to have meaning you can give it meaning, but if you don't it won't, of course that meaning must be something you support or else it will still feel worthless.

@@paulatreides3214 They only have one artstyle. Ted-ed has so many, which is why I consider them superior animation-wise.

that is actually interesting play😲

Cop out.

If Godot wasn't (didn't "be"), to be waited for, then there would be no reason to be waiting (which would negate the waiting being what the play is about); the play is (HAS TO BE) about Godot. To misinterpret that is to misinterpret the entire point of the sentiment. Allegorically, it would be like proposing an atheist sits waiting for God, when the atheist has already accepted the non-existence of God. They simply wouldn't bother.

@@davideaston6944 When you say interpretation, there is no ‘one’ interpretation for the play and there are no rights or wrongs when we talk about interpretations. In literature, the meanings are never set in stone so I don’t entirely agree with you using the term ‘misinterpretation.’ Beckett based Godot on a letter he received from someone of the same name saying ‘I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.’ When asked about Godot, he said he regretted calling the character Godot because it had given rise to so many religious theories. And that if he had meant God by Godot, he would have said God, not Godot. Additionally, the example you gave is the one people denote to Godot the most. A more diversifying interpretation thus is to think Godot stands for all of the things we want an explanation from. And all the things that never arrive. And while yes, the waiting would not be there without the Godot to be waited for, the waiting is a constant and Godot, a variable. The waiting is what everyone can relate to.

@@norie2436 Sorry, but I'll have to 100% disagree with you, from you beginning premise, that "there are no rights or wrongs when we talk about interpretations. In literature, the meanings are never set in stone"; I stand in the camp of "if it wasn't MEANT to mean ?something?, don't write (paint / sing / pick your art) it." Beckett, I trust, was NOT the artist that said, "It's means what YOU think it means"; I will give him FAR MORE credit than that. If you think he was that ethereal, that narrow in mind, then, I can't help you. Paraphrasing Chekov, 'The gun better be there for an eventual reason'. EVERY WORD Beckett wrote, I will contend, meant EXACTLY ?something?, and so there ultimately IS a "right or wrong". This isn't to say people can and do or might have different interpretations of ?any? art. But they'll as equally be "wrong", if they're not the correct interpretations. What a weak argument it is for either an artist or their audience to suggest that, "It means what it means to you!". Nope, not buying it, and never have, Cheers!

@@davideaston6944 And voila, as I said before, ‘a work of art’ is open to many interpretations, it really is okay if you don’t buy this or agree with it. Peace.

@@norie2436 Well, to be clear (as I thought I said before), you'd be wrong. It's your wording that makes it wrong, perhaps not your sentiment... ??? Any properly designed piece of art could be interpreted many ways, yes; but they would all be looking on closed doors. The only door "open" is the intent created by the artist. Cheers!

"I saved my 17th cup of coffee just for you."

I've read and enjoyed "as you like it * as a play, as a performance by modern actors I find it annoying, reading the original play gives you the ability to make the players yourself inside your own head, modern luvvies reading this play do it no justice in my opinion. It's incredibly funny but I never saw that in watching the play performed by modern actors

Young Monk: “Do not try and bend the spoon-that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth.” Neo: “What truth?” Young Monk: “There is no spoon.”

I like that. One perspective to consider.

And that's really damn annoying.

@Username what a great reply. No explanation as to what you are refering makes it also a subversion.

@Username I was just playing along with the idea and referring to your comment, calling it subversive for not explaining the subject.

If the performance you saw was boring, then it was a poor performance. The bare minimum of a play and the actors in it is to entertain the audience, engage with you at some level and make you think.

Ohshit same

that's the bloody problem with existentialists..
