Résumé:
Since the first performance of Samuel Beckett‘s master piece Waiting for Godot; the play
suffered various remarks and comments. Beckett in this work presents a clear picture of
human existence together with the issue of beliefs; by emphasizing on the figure of
Godot, and the relations between the characters: Estragon and Vladimir, Pozzo and lucky.
The play is regarded as an ambiguous piece of art, as the critics debated whether it is
existential or religious. This work aims to juxtapose these views rather than highlighting
the various reading of the play; by analyzing it through philosophical view concentrating
on how Beckett employed and reflect existentialism in literature, then set off the religious
allegory that are founded within the play; providing evidences from Beckett‘s oeuvre.
After all, the play reveals that Beckett succeeded in assembling between Existentialism
and religion creating one of the most absurd play in the history of literature
