/lit/ - Literature

Is it really as bad as /lit/ says it is?

Will I ever be patrician enough to want to read this?

>it's just a metaphor for marriage

Explain why this play is so highly regarded. /lit/ seems to think that because the play is so simplistic and allows for various interpretations, that's enough to make it a genuinely good work. That's not the case unfortunately. Waiting for Godot has direction, without a doubt, but it lacks purpose. Literature and plays that leave the story open for your personal interpretation are lazy, only considered masterpieces due to the audiences ability to insert their own narrative.

>"Charming spot. Inspiring prospects. Let's go."
>"We can't."
>"Why not?"
>"We're waiting for Godot."

BRAVO, BECKETT

>Let's go.
>We can't.
>Why not?
>We're waiting for Godot.

I stopped reading right there.

I loved reading this play, but it's making me depressed.

I'm starting to notice how my entire life is just waiting for one thing after another.
Gah.

Should i read it?

So I was reading through Martin Esslin's list of plays that embody absurdism.
I thoroughly enjoyed pic related Waiting For Godot. However, I can't for the live of me figure out why he picked it as an example of relativizing absurdism.
What am I missing here, /lit/?

The Monty Pythons write a short play

What the fuck did I just read?

Does /lit/ have an opinion on this play?

Could someone explain me what is the point of this play, what is it even about? I'm having kind of a hard time understanding it.

This is the best play ever

Dreadful

>"What do you usually do when I'm gone?"
>"Wait for you to come back"

is this a meme book?

I don't want my peers to make fun of me for reading it.

Opinions?

Does /lit/ read plays? Does /lit/ go and see plays?
