"Waiting for Godot" is a either loved or hated. It was called "the play where nothing happens" by critics in 1953. However the crowd stud up clapping when the play finished. People loved it. Critics hated it.

One might at first think that this is a play where nothing happens. Two tramps sitting and waiting. One persuading the other not to move on or kill himself and continue to wait with him for a figure called Godot. Yep, this is pretty much what the play is about. Or what one will thinks if he just reads the words but doesnt look for any deep meanings. If one looks at this play he will understand that Beckett by this tried to reflect the society. Show people how they behave and solve things. If people say that this play is about nothing then maybe they should realize that maybe even their lives are actually about nothing and that they dont differ that much from the play "Waiting for Godot" and I believe that this was Becketts intention.
