Waiting for Godot

Random, Absurd, no build up or anything like that, just a play about nothing really, two guys waiting for something that never happens. These are all things that describe waiting for godot. This play about nothing has virtually endless possibilities to what it could mean and what the author might be implying about these two men and there situation. Godot is described like a big business man of sorts in which these two are offering some kind of prayer. Now a lot of biblical references and things about God are made in this sense throughout the story, there are some parts of this story that are just deep and have tons of meaning to it but then there are times when there is nothing really going on exept for randomess. I think this play reveals that there are somethings in life where the ending and the outcome aren't always what we expect and there are thousands of different outcomes at all times that could happen. One of the mysteries of the story is the tree and the way it changes overnight, it has leaves so it has live, it is no longer dead. Perhaps the characters waiting is producing life or maybe it is a metaphor for humanity, that we wait around and do nothing with are boredome, while God is always at work, always busy and always producing life. I chose to read this aloud to myself, taking on the role and different voices of each character to slowly but surely get into there thoughts and I liked the way that they interacted with eacho other, they didn't really pay attention while paying attention if that makes any sense. Overall I liked waiting for Godot it is different and out of the ordinary which seems in these times to be becoming normal, back that that was kind of "absurd" but today I think that in our post-modern culture we like things that our abstract and different because we are so use to the norm that a little different changes are perspective and sheds new light on things...
