In ‘Waiting for Godot’, things are different from reality in the way that mundane actions are exacerbated; thus, loosing importance and transcendence –like suicide (as prominent example).
Passing time is the main objective given a lack of taste for life resumed to conformity. This conformity is not an aspect of the will, nor a matter of preference, ratther something which appears to be the only salvation from ‘nothingness’ and lack of meaning.
Life, in this bubble, moves relentlessly forward. Invariably, no decision is taken which is consequently translated into action. Every action is minimal and useless in terms of progress hence everything goes back to the beginning. ‘They don’t move’.
Didi and Gogo are stuck in time for they do nothing but wait.
