Waiting for Godot #4

Vladimir: We'll hang ourselves tomorrow. Unless Godot comes.
Estragon: And if he comes?
Vladimir: We'll be saved.
Vladimir: Well? Shall we go?
Estragon: Yes, let's go.
They do not move.


When the boy arrives again in Act II, Vladimir seems to already knows what he will say. This suggests that this dialogue has occurred many times before and further show the repetition of the play is endless and the play itself is simply a scene from the cycle of their lives. The play's conclusion echoes the end of Act I. The stage directions are even similar. After the boy leaves, the stage directions say "as in Act I, Vladimir stands motionless and bowed." This shows that Beckett intended to make some aspects exactly like that of prior events.
The repetition of the final two lines at both act's conclusions convey the important role of parallelism. The character's lines are switched from the previous act, suggests that despite their differences, Vladimir and Estragon are really the same. Also it shows that they try to fight their constant cycle of life, but trying to change things subconsciously.
This shows the absurdity of the play. It shows how life really has no meaning and is just one repetitive cycle. The entire play consists of two men standing around waiting for someone else. They have no definite reason for waiting for Godot and they fail to try and change their faith. It shows how humans want their lives to be unique and have meaning, but they don't put the effort to do so and their surroundings make it so that the meaningless of life overtake any desire to change.
