Waiting For Godot

We can say that the play “Waiting for Godot”, a play written by Samuel Beckett is a little immersed on the context of war or postwar, in that way the topics that Beckett worked were always a littlepessimistic and sometimes with an strange sense of humor, which is significantly related to the Theater of the Absurd at that time, where the illogic, the inconsistency and the nonsense are veryimportant characteristics because in some occasions there is not coordination between thought and action and between one dialogue to another, actually we think that is a very special kind of work because inthe case of this play there isn’t clear time, there isn’t clear meaning and somehow there isn’t a clear message at the end of the story.

Is a very sad vision because it...
