Waiting for Godot is regarded as a landmark in the development of modern British Drama. The conspicuous success it has achieved on the stage in a large number of countries is really surprising in view of the fact that it is devoid of the conventional elements which make up a play. It has no romantic interest, not even a female character in the cast, and it has very little action. Its “meaning” too is not very clear, the very personality of Godot being one of the riddles of the play. This book, designed to meet the examination requirements of advanced university students, deals with the many aspects of the play and endeavors to enable the reader to appreciate as well as understand a work which is apparently meaningless and which has yet been interpreted in a score of ways.
