Waiting For Godot 2nd Blog

What can we learn from the story Waiting for Godot? The characters are very unique and original and they teach us very serious lessons. The first one I learned was that we should never be alone. Even if we have no home, no where to go, and no purpose in life, as long as we have someone to share that life with, then our lives are worth living. I think the part that describes this the best is when they were discussing suicide, but didn't do it because of the chance that one might not die and be left by himself. That to me is significant. Another lesson we can learn from this story is that we should always have hope in something. When the child kept returning to tell them that Godot will come tomorrow, that gave Vladimir and Estragon some hope to stay and look forward to the next day. Even when they met Lucky, they could see that their lives were better then his and that they were not at the lowest of the low. I was just able to find small things in the story that seemed like they contained messages, but some parts still seemed weird. You would have to admit that this story has many weird bits and lines in it that made it possibly one of the weirdest stories that I have read. One of these awkward moments was when Vladimir, Estragon, and Lucky were changing hats back and forth and it seemed to go on for nearly a page and a half. I don't really see why the author had to make thus part so elaborate, but it was well detailed and made it into the story. The last lesson that I learned from this book is that no mater what you have to have respect for yourselves. Vladimir showed this when Pozzo first appeared and Estragon asked him for the bones from his meal, and Vladimir said that they were not beggars and that they shouldn't beg, even though he said he was hungry before.
