![]() Either the nonsensical end could be accentuated or the intellectual beginning could have a larger role, all dependent on the performance. Given the start of Lucky’s speech and its progressively confusing end, there are obviously two different styles of performance that are available to the reader. For example, the use of qua, a Latin term meaning "in the function or capacity of", is common in scholarly addresses, but Lucky's repetition of the term as “quaquaquaqua” creates an absurd sound, as though God is being ridiculed by a quacking or squawking sound. The other half of Beckett’s message is the nonsensical and absurd elements of Lucky’s speech that increasingly invade the coherency at the beginning of the speech. These intelligent nuances of the speech are half of Beckett’s manner of communicating a central idea in the play to us: the nature of God and his relationship to man. He is describing a lost hope in God by the consciousness of men that has caused a chasm between the two and has left men abandoned and unwanted, hence explaining the current disheartening scene.Īt the beginning of the speech, Lucky states, “…a personal God…outside time without extension who from the heights of divine apathia, divine athambia, divine aphasia, loves us dearly with some exceptions for reasons unknown but time will tell…” Although the speech becomes more and more incoherent, the vocabulary is not representative of a slave’s dictionary but of a man that was once familiar with the heavenly. ![]() Reduced and simplified, the speech is basically as follows: he accepts the existence of a personal God that exists outside of this world and concludes that he suffers with those who are plunged into torment. The irrationality may point to a past traumatic event that has caused Lucky to lose his level-head but nevertheless it still had symbolism. Lucky, after trading hats, gives a speech that ranges between an irrational jumble of sounds to a coherent statement on the existence and nature of the divine. One of the great beauties of Beckett’s play is that the characters often go against their own personalities after literally trading hats. Still, through these discussions explicitly centered around Godot, much is said about the meaning of God and given the similarities with their acts of isolation, Godot can be taken as a representation of God. Ever so often, Pozzo and Lucky, a traveling man and his “slave”, come around and discuss the matter of Godot with Vladimir and Estragon, either giving them hope or bringing them despair. Their time and purpose is centered around waiting for a man named Godot who they have yet to see but have placed all of their hope and faith into his appearance. ![]() Played in a bizarre world that seems to be the ruins of a once meaningful world, the play is centered around two homeless men, Vladimir and Estragon, and a tree.
