1) This Painting presenting clear cut image the play of ‘ Waiting for Godot’. We See in the play that there are three setting like “ The Country Road, A Tree and Evening”. In this paining we see that one painting is suggest that the sun has rising it means they have Hope that god will come and the another Painting is suggest that the sun has setting it means that they know that The ultimately truth of the life is the ‘Death’ and they known that our journey somewhere end and “our Aatma merge to Parramatta “. They are waiting for death. We can see on one side there is a barren tree because they both are immature in his nature and on the other side a grown tree (full of green leaves) ,its connected with his spiritual satisfaction.
2) In the act 1 the Tree has barren so its connected with Hopelessness and nothingness of his life and in act 2 The Tree become grown tree its suggest that both of them understand the ultimate truth of the life is ‘’ DEATH’’. So both of them get spiritual satisfaction of his nature.
3) Here i interpret that
The Moon – Life ( hope)
The Night - Death
In both Acts, Evening falls into night and moon rises so its clearly show that they have hope that godot will come and godot fulfills our desire but at the end both of them understand that the ultimate truth of life is death and we all are waiting for death.
4) The director feels the setting with some debris with appropriateness. Through the debris director wants to shows the fragmentation of life and nothingness of life. the debris gives some positive sign that one day our body will turned out from the ashes. so the director gives sign of death and immortality of the things.
5) At the begging of the play the Estragon said that “Nothing to be done”. it means that they are constantly repeating same thing and they are waste our time to wait for godot and its uselessness.
6) Yes, I agree that the play waiting for godot is positive play and its gives deep philosophical thinking about hope – home – salvation and at the end they understand that concept of death
7) The two props like hat and boot has play significance role in the play .at the begging of the play we see that Vladimir wearing hat ,its gives sign of his intellectuality( mind) and Estragon is trying to take of his boots,so its connected his physical strength( body).
8) Yes, it is true that the lucky blindly follow the order of his master. we see that he carries a heavy bags ,folding stool, a picnic basket and a greatcoat and he gives the rope of his sedative and blind master, so here we see the a postcolonial mindset that he able to escape of those place but he given the whip of his master it means that the slave do not wants to change of his mentality, here we apply the master-slave mentality in this play that the master become more master and slave become more slave . here i give the example of the play like ‘’ The hairy ape”. here i interpret that
Pozzo- materiality
Lucky- Spirituality
9) According to me, Godot is meant to suggest the intervention of supernatural agency or whatever he stands for a mythical human being whose arrival is expected to change the situation and its save our life and fulfills our wish. Both of them waiting for god may be they want to free from some pain like physical pain( Vladimir)and mental pain( Estragon).
10) The subject of the play is not Godot but waiting”. I do agree with the point of Martin Esslin. The act of waiting is essential and characteristic aspect of the human condition. we always wait for something so here the godot is simply present the objectives of our waiting for an event, a things, a person and may be death
11) During watching this play we also discussed on this things .Yes play can better be read than viewed because reading is the best way to understand the things. reading of things that comes with lots of idea , it is also increasing the thinking ability of reader.
12) At the time When the Estragon and Vladimir are playing game with their hat they both of are puts hats to each other heads so they both of them doing stupid thing because they are passing their time because both of them waiting for godot and This sequence is my favorite of the play.
Episode of Master - slave is carefully crafted one. Both Lucky and Pozzo come in both the acts. Pozzo beats Lucky, treats him roughly, calls him 'pig'. Vladimir is challenging through questions where as Estragon on the other side makes fun, creates laughter on the stage. the long speech of Lucky is also wonderful. Even the boy comes, is confusing that whether it is the same boy or not. The dialogues between Vladimir and boy are short. boy mostly replies in Yes or No. and sometimes don’t give any answer. and Estragon remains busy in eating & sleeping is also meaningful

13) Yes, I feel the effect of existential crisis or meaninglessness of human existence in the irrational and indifference Universe during screening of the movie. Here the Existentialism is emphasis the notions of anguish, freedom,emotion ,individuality and passion of human life. in the middle of the act 2 we read the dialogues between Estragone and Vladimir like
Estragon: - Let’s go.
Vladimir: - We can’t
Estragon:- Why not?
Vladimir :- We’re waiting for Godot.
In these dialogues we see that they doing meaningless work and the outcome of his work is nothing and they repeating same thing. We see that time has passes but they are constantly waiting for godot.
14) Both of them decided that we are hang ourselves but Vladimir said that godot will come tomorrow so we will hang ourselves tomorrow. the man commit suicide it means that he doing something wrong in his life and he wants to free from the all suffering that why he commit suicide. According to Christianity the living of life is most agenda of the Christianity and “The commit suicide is an individual act”. Here we give the example of Ophelia in the play Hamlet. in the play we see that the priest refuses to do the burial ceremony of the Ophelia because she commit suicide so according to Christianity the commit suicide is a sin.
15) We read politically the play, Vladimir - Russia; Estragon - France; Pozzo - Italy and Lucky – England then Godot can be considered as Germany because its connected with somehow war or may be with Hitler.
16) We see master and slave mentality in this play .the slave Lucky has also know that his master is bind but he follow all the order of his master. so he able to leave that place but he did not do such thing .so we said that the slave has don’t change our mentality. So we cannot clearly point out the connection of Ireland and England for the play.
17)
Act- 1
BOY: - What am I to tell Mr. Godot, Sir?
VLADIMIR: Tell him . . . (he hesitates) . . . tell him you saw us. (Pause.) You did see us, didn't you?
Act – 2
BOY: What am I to tell Mr. Godot, Sir?
VLADIMIR: Tell him . . . (he hesitates) . . . tell him you saw me and that . . (he hesitates) . . . that you saw me. (Pause. Vladimir advances, the Boy recoils. Vladimir halts, the Boy halts. With sudden violence.) You're sure you saw me; you won't come and tell me tomorrow that you never saw me!
This change in conversation from “Us” to “Me” suggests two things first is Vladimir has become self-centered and another is being individual and leaving ego behind as psychologically Vladimir suggests id and Estragon suggests ego.
Thank you ,sir
