pages 53-63
I choose these pages because I found this conversation or scenes very confusing and couldn't tell if there is a purpose behind every word that the author used to describe the struggles of these two characters or not.
1. what is the significance of the tree in the play and why does it have leaves in act 2?
2. why is the tree green (indicating passage of time) whereas Gogo's wound is still festering? what does it mean?
3. what does estragon mean by 'no lack of void'?
4. why does the author not show Vladimir getting the carrot for estragon after he says he will? is there any specific reason for Vladimir being the one offering food to Gogo?
5. what does estragon mean by 'to give us the impression we exist'?
6. why is Vladimir curious about Lucky's hat?
7. why does Vladimir show relief when he realizes that they are in the 'right place' after seeing Lucky's hat?
8. why does Vladimir choose to play Lucky and not Pozzo? what are the connections in his and Lucky's character?
9. what was the intension of the author by putting the idea of estragon's dreaming and why does he never reveal them in the play?
10. why doesn't Vladimir want to know about the dreams?
11. what is the purpose of taking off the hat and inspecting it, signify in the play?
12. what does Vladimir mean by ' when you seek you hear...that prevents you from thinking'?
13. why does Vladimir mention seeing corpses? what does he mean by it?
14. by having all this conversation, are they trying to pass the endless time in the wait of Godot or is there any other specific message that the author wanted to convey?
15. what do estragon and Vladimir mean when they say, ' a relaxation...a recreation'?
