Waiting for Godot: Discussion

In class, we talked about the themes to 'waiting for godot', and I was completely surprised by how many themes there are! We could have kept going on and on all day it seemed like. I wish I could say everyone one of them but there were so many I forgot! It's funny, a book about nothing can mean everything. I'm glad we had a class discussion because if we didn't, I would have read that book and been so confused on what it meant. That is a very helpful tool when trying to understand literature, to discuss. Because if your like me, my mind can only wrap around only a few ideas, but when you put multiple minds together, it opened my mind up so much. Especially when we didn't have much time to read it. This book almost needs to be read multiple times to understand something it seems like. One of the themes that caught me was about being married. And when he said that Estragon looked like estrogen, it made me laugh because not only was it funny, but I was thinking the same thing. There was a part in there where Estragon and Vlamdimir tried to depart from eachothers lives but Estragon kept coming back and Vladimir said it was because Estragon needed him to live and survive if I recall correctly.
The other theme that struck me was about religion. I couldn't tell if Beckett was trying to support christianity or degrade it saying that it was pointless. The reason I say he supported it was because I think it was Scott in class saying that the tree was like the cross. And Estragon and Vladimir were waiting for Godot to come, or you could say waiting for God. He then talked about the child that came and some stuff that he said and he related it to the bible. But the reason why I say he didn't support christianity is because when they were waiting for Godot, or God if you want to interpret it that way, Beckett might wanted to have expressed his thoughts on christianity saying their lives were basically pointless and they weren't getting anywhere in life and they were wasting their time waiting on believing he was coming, making him an atheist. But I doubt that's the case and I hope that's not the case so I'm sticking with the first point!
