Waiting for Godot
There were two
tramps named Vladimir and Estragon. They meet near a tree. They converse on
different things and at the end of their conversation they both reveal to each
other that they are waiting for a man named Godot whom they had never met
before. They do many things to pass their time and other two men named Pozzo
and Lucky. Pozzo is the master and Lucky is the servant her. Pozzo is on his way to the market
to sell his slave, Lucky. He pauses for a while to converse with Vladimir and
Estragon. Lucky entertains them by dancing and thinking, and Pozzo and Lucky
leave.
After Pozzo and Lucky leave, a boy enters and tells Vladimir that he is
a messenger from Godot. He tells Vladimir that Godot will not be coming tonight, but that he
will surely come tomorrow. Vladimir asks him some questions about Godot and the
boy departs. After his departure Vladimir and Estragon decide to leave, but
they do not move.
The next
night, Vladimir and Estragon again meet near the tree to wait for Godot. Lucky
and Pozzo comes again, but this time Pozzo is blind and Lucky is dumb. Pozzo
does not remember meeting the two men earlier. They leave and Vladimir and
Estragon again continue to wait for Godot.
The boy comes
and once again tells Vladimir that Godot will not be coming today. When
Vladimir asks the boy that whether they met yesterday or not, than the boy says
that he did not speak to Vladimir yesterday and it was his brother who came
yesterday not he. After he leaves, Estragon and Vladimir decide to leave, but then
also they do not move and keeps on waiting.
