Abstract: Waiting for Godot, the masterpiece of a great Irish dramatist—Samuel Beckett., is acclaimed as “the most significant English language play of the 20th Century” and the representative work of theatre of absurdity. Waiting for Godot, with the absence of Godot and the various implications of “waiting”, has aroused various understandings among critics since it was published. The paper analyzes Waiting for Godot based on an analysis of the characters that embody the helplessness and hopelessness of humans stuck in a dilemma. The disintegration of the language implies the emptiness and suffering in man’s inner world. The paper also explores the process of waiting, which promises hope in the necessary painful process of human’s self-promotion. The research is aimed at revealing the theme of the work.
Key words：Waiting for Godot; waiting; hope
