Question

What is the significance of waiting in waiting for godot?

Answer 1

The French phrase has the literal meaning of waiting for Godot, but far more than the English conveys the sense "while waiting for Godot," with more emphasis on what happens while waiting than on Godot's eventual arrival (or failure to arrive).

Answer 2

Answer:

Ossa, M.A. The significance of the title rests on the situational irony that the wait for Godot is entirely trifling. Yet, the collateral dynamics that result from this abortive task are as illogical as the wait itself. Within an existentialist context, the wait is symbolic of human reality.
