![]() ![]() Comparably to Godot, the sequence of waiting is the theme. He is blind physically and spiritual, and salvation is unattainable. This infinite sequence means nothing, since man will not find what he seeks. Hollow Men says life is just a wait for the final destruction in which there is an endless succession of births and deaths. The cycle from birth to death is just a natural process that does not matter and does not make a difference in the large scheme of things. In Hollow Men, Eliot maintains that life is hollow, and death is inevitable. This aspect of the human condition of just going through the motions is the easy way out, and both Beckett and Eliot want to illustrate that if one does not live life to its fullest, maybe one should not even live at all. Prufrock is too old, too good for nothing, so it is safer to just do nothing. Vladimir and Estragon have to wait for Godot. Like in Godot, there is so much that can be done, but an excuse is always found. He just lets life suck everything from him and take away everything he could have done. So he does nothing, and that is the major flaw. ![]() Life is going away and he is no Prince Hamlet. His prowess with women is deteriorating and this disturbs him. He realizes he is getting balder and more wrinkled. It is about a man who want to do so much – be with pretty woman, make something of his life. Eliots Love Song is in the first person point of view, and this person refers to you, who is probably a woman. The similarity of this play to Eliots poem is remarkable. The play ends with the two considering to go somewhere, but they do not. This change in events is a direct point of life being terrific one moment, and worthless the next. Pozzo has become blind and pathetic, and Lucky has become dumb. The second act is almost an exact repeat of the first, but Lucky and Pozzo have fallen upon hard times. After they leave, a messenger from Godot arrives and states simply that Godot will arrive tomorrow, same place, same time. They meet a couple of fellows: Pozzo, an upper-class man, mistaken by Vladimir and Estragon as Godot, and Pozzos slave, Lucky. Who or what Godot symbolizes remains a mystery, but their whole existence seems to be to wait for Godot. They consider hanging themselves, but realize before they do that they should consult with Godot. The two friends Vladimir and Estragon talk aimlessly and complain about life. Waiting for Godot takes place in a rural area, with just a tree in the background. The connection among these three works is that people want to and should do so much, but they do not. Alfred Prufrock, and Hollow Men are about the tormenting cycle of life and death. The existentialist style by Godot is comparable to T.S. Godot is about two beings who talk about nothing, experience the drudgery of life, complain that they do not do anything, meet a few people, think about hanging themselves, and then do it all over again. In Waiting for Godot, Samuel Becket presents the suffering of the human condition. The Suffering of the Human Condition in “Waiting for Godot” ![]()
