Waiting for Godot
I still remember the sentence of the last chapter ofThe Count of Monte Cristo, “ Until the day when God shall deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is summed up in these two words----Wait and hope”.This novel shows us a positive spirit of life, and tells us that if we are waiting for hope sincerely and finally we can get salvation.While in Waiting for Godot, it mainly tells us a story of waiting and hoping, but it’s comparatively more negative because of the lack of hope and the frustrating dialogues.This novel uses the dramatic way to reveal both the ridiculous and ugly world and the chaotic reality, to describe the painful and hopele life of the people at that time.
In the story, Godot is just a windy image and he never appear.Although he hadn’t appear, he is the key of the characters’ destinies.The two main characters live in a harsh environment, they even can’t have a chance to die freely.But they are always waiting and hoping, waiting for the windy Godot and hoping he can come.No matter Godot will come or not, no matter whether the hope will come true, this kind of hope really gives them spiritual.This waiting may hopele, but it makes us moved.The two days waiting in the play is the symbol of the long years.This story not only shows us a cruel
reality but also gives us great enlightenment.It tells us that hope is existed, but the reality of waiting the hope is unknown, if you decide to wait, it will left you disillusioned.What are they waiting for? Are they really waiting for Godot? Where is Godot? Godot is already in your life actually.So don’t wait for Godot, because you have already met him!
