THIS WAS BRILLIANT!

I read and watched the play 'Waiting for Godot' and when my teacher showed us this I was laughing so hard i almost cried.

I feel so bad saying this, but it can't feel Chekovian because Chekov wrote in a style of Uber-realism. Where at Beckett wrote Absurdist pieces. You probably already knew this but I just wanted it to be correct.

That deep, deep stuff.

I'm not sure whether Beckett never intended people to fathom his plays. It's true that some of the value of art in general lies in individual interpretation, but why would Beckett deliberately write plays that were completely indecipherable? If his plays defy interpretation to an extent, and I agree they do, then something is conveyed by that very fact. e.g. in Godot much of the speech is pointless because they're using speech against action, conveying the absurdity of their position
