| Abstract: | Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot (1953) stands as a defining text of the Theatre of the Absurd, dramatizing the existential condition of modern humanity through circular structure, illogical dialogue, and pervasive uncertainty. This paper examines Waiting for Godot as an absurd drama by analyzing its treatment of meaninglessness, time, language, identity, and human suffering. Drawing upon existential philosophy and absurdist theory, particularly the works of Martin Esslin and Albert Camus, the study argues that Beckett’s play does not merely depict despair but exposes the futility of human attempts to impose meaning on an indifferent universe. Through the endless waiting of Vladimir and Estragon, the play dramatizes the paralysis of modern existence, revealing absurdity as a fundamental condition of life rather than a temporary crisis. |
