There's so much I want to delve into the play when we talk about it in class: the homoeroticism between Vladimir and Estragon, the characters of Pozzo and Lucky and the repetition in time that slowly dawns upon you as you advance.

I appreciate this for what it is, but also tedious my god

When I first read this about a year ago, I rated it 5 stars, and while I still rate it highly for the concept and philosophy behind Beckett's work, I would say that the script itself is very good but also tedious in parts (which I understand is the point). That being said, I don't fault it much for this, because the fact that it's tedious is what conveys Beckett's message, just that I don't think this is the type of work to reread, unless it's for studying purposes. I found myself laughing at some parts, but a little bored in other parts, but I would definitely recommend it for Beckett's clever use of language and stage set.

Waiting for Godot, a play by Samuel Beckett, is a story of two men, Vladimir and Estragon, who wait endlessly and in vain for someone named Godot. Beckett explored themes such as the absurdity of existence, the purposelessness of life, the uncertainty of time, and the folly of seeking meaning.

The play was first presented (as En Attendant Godot) at the Théâtre de Babylone, 38 Boulevard Raspal, Paris, France, during the season of 1952-1953.
