Nothingness in the play:
Reflects less action
Important but uncertain
Hopeless destiny of human race.
Whereas in the tradition playwe see a concentrated singleaction motivates the whole play,here in the case ofWaiting for Godot everything isfuelled by the sense of ‘nothingness’.In fact, here nothing creates everything.
The setting of the play is influenced by a mode of nothingness.
Conclusion :
After the study of this play we come to know
that nothing special happens in neither the
play nor we observe any significant change
in setting. Though a change occurs but it is
only that now the tree has sprouted out four
or five leaves. "Nothing happens, nobody
comes ... nobody goes, it's awful!" The
beginning, middle and end of the play do
not rise up to the level of a good play, so
absurd.
