The document summarizes Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot. It discusses that the play, originally published in French in 1952, features two main characters, Vladimir and Estragon, who pass the time engaging in various conversations as they wait endlessly for someone named Godot who never arrives. While they wait, the characters discuss their purposelessness and struggle to find any meaning in life. In the end, the play promotes that all life is meaningless and there is no point to existence, though it also presents the importance of human friendship and existence.
