Generally, the play Waiting for Godot is said to be an absurd play. But -- as Hamlet has the element of revenge, Macbeth has an element of over-ambition, King Lear has the element of love and Othello, the element of jealousy --- Cant we think and say that Waiting for Godot has the element of HOPE?
(And as we all know, hope is an essential part of our lives.)
