In both Waiting for Godot and The Outsider, the characters live a somewhat meaningless life without a sense of morality in mind. ... It is evident that there are significant differences and similarities between the characters in Waiting for Godot and the main character in The Outsider. Vladimir and Estragon are lonely men who want nothing more but to make something of themselves in their lives, and believe by waiting for this man, Godot, that their will be meaning in their life.
In the play Waiting for Godot, both men are waiting for something that never comes. ... Estragon is nothing like the character in The Outsider, Mersault, where as Mersault does not need anyone and does not ever depend on anyone for company or support. ... Godot’s arrival throughout the play. ... The only thing that keeps them from actually killing themselves is the fact that they are waiting for Godot. ... ”
This quote symbolizes how much they depend on this Godot character in order to have a meaningful life. ... In order to keep themselves busy and to keep themselves from actually committing suicide the two men occupy themselves by waiting for godot and conversing with each other over ridiculous things.
