Beckett’s play “En attendant Godot” is centred around two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, who are waiting for the arrival of “Godot”, someone they admit they know little about and might not even recognise when he presents himself “Estragon – Pour ma part je ne le reconnaitrais meme pas” ( “En attendant...
is very dramatic for the audience. An almost empty stage and leafless tree, symbolising the meaningless and emptiness of the lives of Estragon and Vladimir, is very effective in engaging the audience, especially as it broke theatrical conventions in the 1950s. Beckett also uses the entrance of Pozzo and...
present and future mean nothing, the play follows a cyclic pattern. Vladimir and Estragon returned to the same place each day to wait for Godot and encounter the same basic people each day.

Beckett’s work much like those three concepts is very nihilistic. Vladimir and Estragon do not show any sense of conformity to the rules of conduct of a society.
