Waiting for (GOD)ot

What would be so important to someone, to be willing to wait for every single day? What could possibly mean that much, for us to waste our time so absurdly? One must have a lot of faith or love towards something, to be willing to wait for so long. It makes me question,who could be Godot? And why are Estragon and Vladimir waiting for him? Why not just give up? Anyone who has read, or seen this play, might have the same or at least very similar questions. We have to see many different aspects of the play to truly begin to understand who might this unknown person be.

Godot. Could it be God? Possibly. It is an open 

possibility that it could be God, it even has God in the world itself. Actually Godot means "Boot" in french slang. Even so, Beckett has stated that if with  the character of Godot, he had really meant God, then he would have simply written "Waiting for God". Furthermore, this play was originally written in french, entitled En attendant Godot and so Beckett says he was never truly aware of the connotations it could possibly bring in english, as in french, God is Dieu, and he was writing in french not in english. 

That is what they say. That is what Beckett says. But, I really do not believe him. Unconsiously he had to be aware of it. He had to be aware of what he was writing. A coincidence as such cannot be by mistake. Everything fits perfectly into picture. God in Godot. Waiting for (God)ot. His failure to show up. His absence. The post-WWII depression. The birth of  existentialism. Everything fits perfectly into picture. Somewhere inside him, Beckett had to be thinking about God. If not, the only explanation I can give myself from all this absurd, is that the world is irrational, just like this play and we a naive enough to try to give an explanation to it. It could be as irrational as a play called "Waiting for Boot."
