WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?

Abstract

The purpose of this Essay is to compare the main themes of Waiting for Godot and our lives during this long period of Pandemic. During the development of this research, I am going to try to explore (i) the context of the play Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett; (ii) the context of our new routine; (iii) provide an analysis/comparison about the search for the self. As we see in the play Waiting for Godot, we, as humans, are always waiting for something; sometimes, we create expectations and want answers for everything, but in some cases, answers can’t be said or even find.
