Question Not Attempted

Correct option is A

Explanation:

  1. Statement I is true:
    Vladimir (Didi) is the character who questions the Boy at the end of both acts. He inquires about Godot’s arrival and presses the Boy for details about Godot's promises. This aligns with Vladimir's role as the more rational and questioning figure in contrast to Estragon.

  2. Statement II is true:
    Estragon (Gogo) indeed delivers the line, "Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it’s awful." This line reflects his frustration with the monotony and futility of waiting, a central theme of the play. While Vladimir often takes the lead in questioning and contemplation, Estragon contributes this poignant observation that encapsulates the absurdity of their situation.


Information booster:

  1. Waiting for Godot explores existential themes, emphasizing the repetitive, meaningless cycle of human existence.
  2. Vladimir and Estragon complement each other: Vladimir is thoughtful and probing, while Estragon is impulsive and emotional.
  3. The Boy serves as a messenger from Godot, reinforcing the theme of deferred expectations and unresolved anticipation.
  4. Estragon’s line succinctly captures the core of absurdist theatre.
