Waiting for Godot is a controversial play in which two tramps spend their life, is meaningless and purposeless ways. They both want to find their purpose in life, but they fail. However, we can analyze this drama, that everyone in their life finds questioning about their existence. For example, why we are here? What is the purpose of our existence? who we are? And these questions lead to suffering, depression, stress, and anxiety. These absurdities and wasting our life in a useless way, and waiting for any messiah that can save our life cause nihilism. Estragon dialogue is notable in this regard. He says,

Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it’s awful.”
