The written medium especially allows for this transfer the relative permanence of a physical page allows writing to be preserved unchanged much longer than any virtual form so far.Īnd I approach this book with a keen awareness of that inequality. This inequality leads to comedy at its extremities: high school students dismissing works of literature upon reading the first few pages, and spark-noting the rest the same principle applies to think pieces on social media by those who don’t use it. There is an incredible inequality in the very concept of a review: that of the difference between author and reader. Even this 1954 edition that I have is the THIRTY-SIXTH PRINTING! &, yet, how many people in this society, in this world, are STILL WAITING FOR GODOT?! ( ) but it still surprises me that there're so many editions of it. So, "Waiting for Godot" is a powerful play. "Waiting for Godot" is putting off facing yr own life b/c you're too afraid or lazy or brainwashed to do anything but pass the buck & pretend like that's somehow an expression of yr 'quality'. "Waiting for Godot" is like praying - you can waste yr time doing that or you can actually do something practical. I interpret it as "waiting for God to" - meaning waiting for a fantasy external force to solve yr problems.
"Waiting for Godot" has become an expression meaning to "wait for something that'll never come". His worldview is an endless slow crawl thru the mud by imbeciles. Beckett's a great writer & I sure as fuck am glad I'm not him. I don't really remember my reaction to it - perhaps just a little. "Waiting for Godot" is probably the 1st thing I read of Beckett's. I'm willing to accept Beckett as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century but there are times when his grimness is more than I want to bear.
