Abstract EN

This research paper targets at representing the traumatic human condition of post world war era in Beckett’s waiting for Godot.

a new genre of the absurd drama is pioneered by Samuel Beckett, who focuses the representation of facts in a ridiculous, yet intriguing style.

waiting for Godot is literary and critically analyzed to sort out the purposelessness of life, that is unwanted by ludicrous characters who endure hardship, in an absurd way to reach nothing.

waiting is part of the plot in the play where the expectations decline to meet Godot.

one of the main research finding highlights that sarcasm and absurdism are crucial features of the play which marks the life of man.

humans feel lonely and desperate, in an irrational and meaningless universe.
