What does "Waiting For Godot" by Samuel Beckett trying to imply on?

Answer 1

Usually death, although it can hold different interpratations for different people.
I have just finshed studying it and we were bought to the conclusion it means waiting for Death.

Answer 2

It's the transition from the modern to the post-modern era of art making.

So, while it is a narrative - the fact that Godot never shows up is hinting at the post-modern style of making art and creating theater.

It's brilliant, of course.

Echoes of "non-theater" meaning that the play has a bogus ending is the commentary via satire and even parody that a linear structure of presenting material is not involving the audience and therefore allows the audience to be passive -- certainly not the goal of any true artist.

Thinking that Beckett's goal is the engagement of the audience, then not having Godot ever show up is the low-level anxiety and, for me, the satisfaction in seeing the presentation of the material.

Luck with your homework!

Answer 3

It could mean any number of thimgs. This is what theater professionals call the messages of the play.

Some might say it's the breakdown in communication or socieity. Others might say it's how people often put to much hope and drive into the unknown or unpredicable, still others might call it the unwillingness to accept diapointment or failure when little hope is introduced.
