What happens to DiDi and GoGo? Nothing, really.

What comes of their plans? Nothing.

What is the place where this takes place? What do they do that has any real consequence?

Since the same nothing happens to them twice, the expectation is that it has recurred repeatedly and yet they keep expecting a different outcome.

The aim audience by no ability learns who Godot is or the character of his corporation with Vladimir and Estragon. As a suitable noun, the call "Godot" would derive from any style of French verbs, and Beckett suggested it can be a by-made of godillot, that's French slang for "boot". The identify, in this interpretation, could be considered as suggesting that the characters are "waiting for the boot". Many readers of this play have understood the character "Godot" as a symbolic representation of God. They see Godot's continual failure to look and Vladimir and Estragon's aimless waiting as representations of the hundreds hoping for a being who will by no ability seem. Beckett himself vehemently denied this interpretation asserting "If with the aid of Godot I had meant God i could have pronounced God, and not Godot."

When I defended my baby thesis Waiting for Godot, my fellow students were perplexed about the presentation of the repetitiveness of the acts, trying to understand the story , leaving them gaping.

The play is all about inaction; the characters are inept because they do nothing. Sure, they consider action--but it all comes to naught, because they don't actually do anything...except wait. They wait for something, for someone, that never arrives.
