Waiting for Godot | Samuel Beckett

Waiting for Godot is a 1953 play by Samuel Beckett that has become one of the most important and enigmatic plays of the 20th century. The story revolves around two men waiting for someone – or something – named Godot. His play remains one of the most magical and beautiful allegories of our time.

Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature and commended for having “transformed the destitution of man into his exaltation”.

Waiting for Godot belongs to "The Theatre of the Absurd”, focusing on absurdist fiction. It shares the existentialist condition that there is no God or superior knowledge we can depend on. However, a major difference from existentialism that it does not share that we can create our own meaning.

It is better described as an absurdist play. This stems from the absurdist philosophy of Albert Camus, who describes the Absurd in his essay “The Myth of Sisyphus”, as the human incapacity of finding meaning in a meaningless world. The characters are doomed to be faced with the Absurd, and all they can do is try to pass the time.

Great book and I have to say what a fantastic condensed explanation of the distinction between absurdism and existentialism. Top notch

Amazing lecture! I have seen this play live (in Philadelphia/US), and throughout I grew frustrated watching the two men go on and on and watching them wait and wait. I was with a friend who had the same sentiments; at intermission she asked if we should leave, and because the intermission was after more than half the play, I wanted to stay to see how things played out. I just had to see Godot. Was he/she God? Death? A dream realized? 🤷🏽‍♀ So we stayed. Of course I left the play disappointed and unfulfilled because of its ending. That was a year ago. I have frequently thought of the play from time to time, smirking at the time wasted in seeing it. It wasn’t until this very moment (about 20 mins ago at 6:39AM Saturday mourning/morning) that I realized how clever Sam B was; not only was his audience thrust into the play themselves to casually see which character they identified with, but for me and my friend, we actually became the two main characters if but for one moment. “Do you wanna leave?” “No...let’s WAIT and see.” And to that end I’ll say, live in every moment; whatever’s coming will come anyway, if it’s meant to; but don’t waste your time watching the time, waiting to act, waiting for Godot. In doing so (waiting) you will upset the balance of your suffering. Just live in the meantime ❤#waitingforgodot

With every new video upload, you spark up my curiosity and interest in philosophy once again. In the past few months, I've read up on Camus, Sartre, Dostoevsky, and Nietzsche, and I can very easily say that this channel played a huge role in this renewed excitement towards philosophy. The clarity, conciseness, and authenticity of your videos are extremely rare to find in one channel, and I would like to commend you for that! Keep up the phenomenal work and looking forward to new videos!

The play reminds me of the quote from Shawshank Redemption "Hope is a good thing and no good thing should ever die". The Hope of Godot (purpose, meaning, happiness) to appear in our lives is what engages us in futile tasks like the characters in the play. The realisation that Godot would never appear and we would have to accept this fact and carry on without it is the main theme of the play in my opinion. Your Videos are exceptionally good. Please keep making 10 minute analysis videos of books. They are the best thing available on this platform.

Having only been introduced to this play today, it gives me a sense of deja vu and it gives me excitement you feel that anything could be waiting around the corner

I only just recently discovered your channel, man. I wanted to take the opportunity to commend you on making such informed yet such concise mini-documentaries on such a diverse range of consistently interesting philosophical topics. Your relatively new channel has already laid an impressive amount of ground-work of interesting videos for what is going to be a great channel, and your comparatively frequent and regular releases of new content is going to keep your audience active and attract new people to your platform. I wanted to go ahead and tell you this now, because I can already foresee that this channel is going to absolutely explode in popularity in the near-future. First you'll have one video break a million views. Then the channel will break 100K subscribers, so on and so forth. Do not give up or lose faith in the channel's viability. Every big channel was once where you are now. Your big break will come sooner or later; I've seen it happen a million times. I can tell this is one of those channels that has something special. The "Philosophy Documentaries" sector of YouTube is an absolute mess. It seems like the most popular channels in that category either exist to either 1. Sell over-priced books and related schlock to college students, 2. Belch biased and hair-brained propaganda for some pin-headed Left-nut political agenda under the guise of educating people on """philosophy""", or 3. Hawk New Age pseudoscientific nonsense about ancient flying saucers or 'Earth Energy' or something to that effect, barely even pretending to be about """philosophy""". By comparison, I wanted to commend you for having a channel that, from what I can tell, is producing honest, informed, unbiased and genuinely educational content that helps the layman break-down and understand the general essence of very complicated philosophical literature and concepts in digestible ~10 minute videos. Your use of well-rehearsed narration, clean editing and the utilization of relevant pieces of art or other relevant socio-cultural imagery for your visuals is an excellent combinate that really, really drives up the production-value of your videos. It's a level of professionalism that I don't see often see on YouTube, especially in this topical area. Sorry to dump this all here, but I didn't really know where to tell you this aside from in the comments of any recently uploaded video. I just wanted to make sure you knew your work is head and shoulders above many other content-creators on YouTube and that your pointed in the right direction for nothing but success.
