"The best literature mirrors societal concerns and applies directly to aspects of our personal lives"
Waiting for Godot provides an excellent example regarding this explication.
Societal concerns of Waiting for Godot:
- The belief of faith over reason. Both characters in this play wait for a character who hasn't even promised to show up himself. They blindly wait for someone without question. They just believe that he is going to show up.
- Perhaps we make too much of an effort to busy ourselves. You can see that, in this play, these characters are happy just being with each other, waiting for Godot. However, many more people in real life are too busy and don't appreciate what they already have.
