Performed across the globe by some of the world's most iconic performers, Samuel Beckett's indelible masterpiece remains an unwavering testament of what it means to be human. From an inauspicious beginning at the tiny Left Bank Theatre de Babylone in 1953, followed by bewilderment among American and British audiences, Waiting for Godot has become of the most important and enigmatic plays of the past fifty years and a cornerstone of twentieth-century drama. As Clive Barnes wrote, “Time catches up with genius … Waiting for Godot is one of the masterpieces of the century.” The story revolves around two seemingly homeless men waiting for someone—or something—named Godot. Vladimir and Estragon wait near a tree, inhabiting a drama spun of their own consciousness. The result is a comical wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes, and nonsense, which has been interpreted as mankind’s inexhaustible search for meaning. Beckett’s language pioneered an expressionistic minimalism that captured the existential post-World War II Europe. His play remains one of the most magical and beautiful allegories of our time.

This assignment allows students to work together to come to a deeper understanding of the play Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett and its components. They answer a set of higher-level questions concerning such elements as theme, point of view, literary devices, etc. All of the questions are fairly open-ended, leading to great discussions, or even debates, over what the best answers are. Answers are not provided, since for most of the questions, there are a multitude of right answers. The key thing is that students work cooperatively to support their responses with evidence from the text. This is a very helpful assignment as a summation activity at the end of Waiting for Godot, perhaps in literature circles, or as a review for an exam. Works best with advanced students, such as Advanced Placement English Literature classes, but can be easily modified to work with all levels that is using this novel other than AP. ********************************************************************** Customer Tips:How to get TPT credit to use on future purchases: • Go to your My Purchases page (you may need to login) under your MyTpT at the top of the page.
