Thinking Activity: Waiting For Godot:
Waiting For Godot is about existential crisis of a human being. Read from the existential perspective the play is about futility and meaninglessness of life. It is observed that the characters are helpless and hopeless. They do not do anything except 'waiting' which does not add any meaning to their existence. They are like dead bodies without hope. It is the choice they made in their life.
Existentialism is about an individual's existence, choice and freedom in life. It is about meaning given to life by using the freedom to choose.
