Waiting for Godot: Act I

For me, this text was kind of difficult for me to read. I don't know why. I mean the text was clear on what the people were doing but some of the lines in there didn't make any sense. And the meaning of some of the things are sometimes hazy in my little mind. Another thing I have a problem with is what kind of mood they are in. When it comes to them being angry at each other, it's pretty obvious. But this is a tragicomedy, and the part I have a problem with is the comedy part. I can't tell if they are serious or they're just using sarcasm or whatever. I can usually pick up stuff like that, but in this it's kind of hard. Maybe I get it but it's just not funny to me or it's way over my head because the wording is a little wierder than I'm used to. I'm not saying I didn't pick up anything funny. There was one part where Estragon, which I just typed as estrogen (Ha! Maybe that's a hilarious hidden mystery...) had an idea to hang themselves because of their complete boredom waiting on Godot. That must be extreme boredom. But then it goes on and explains what happens when a person in hung. And the thought of when the people pull up the dead who got hung, when all the people in the croud start shrieking...I pictured that happening and it was just funny.
A question I have right now is this...who is Godot? I started thinking about it and now I'm questioning my question. I wonder if I should be asking 'what' is Godot? So I started thinking critically on this, something of which I hardly ever do, and I wondered if Godot was maybe an idea or something. They could be waiting for something in their future or something that's not real. Maybe I thought over-critically on this one! I guess I'll find out when I get through reading this.
