L'attente comprend deux phases, l'ennui et l'angoisse.
La pièce comprend donc deux actes, l'un grotesque, l'autre grave.
Préoccupé de peu de choses hormis ses chaussures, la perspective de se pendre au seul arbre qui rompt la monotonie du paysage et Vladimir, son compagnon d'infortune, Estragon attend.
Il attend Godot comme un sauveur. Mais pas plus que Vladimir, il ne connaît Godot.
Aucun ne sait au juste de quoi ce mystérieux personnage doit les sauver, si ce n'est peut-être, justement, de l'horrible attente. Liés par un étrange rapport de force et de tendresse, ils se haranguent l'un et l'autre et s'affublent de surnoms ridicules.
Outre que ces diminutifs suggèrent que Godot pourrait bien être une synthèse qui ne se réalisera qu'au prix d'un anéantissement, Didi et Gogo portent en leur sein la répétition, tout comme le discours de Lucky, disque rayé qui figure le piétinement incessant auquel se réduit toute tentative de production de sens.
Cette pièce composée en 1952, quinze ans avant que Beckett ne soit couronné par le prix Nobel de littérature, est un tour de force qui démontre les profondeurs que peut atteindre un langage en apparence absurde."
"After reading this I thought about times in my life when I was waiting for Godot too. I wasn't sure if I should be looking for a deep meaning in this play but I did. The two main characters have known each other for a very long time and briefly discuss if they should go their separate ways but alas they do not part and continue to wait for Godot.
All of it reminded me of life and relationships and how some people do not share the same road but stay with each other out of habit despite how the relationship has become stale. There is acknowledgment of how foolish it is to continue to wait for Godot when there is no knowledge of the return.
Lucky was a disturbing character and I couldn't help wondering HOW he got into that situation. I have so many questions about Lucky."
