The readers interpretation

>>Beckett stressed that „the early success of Waiting for Godot was based on a fundamental misunderstanding, that critics and public alike insisted on interpreting in allegorical or symbolic terms a play which was striving all the time to avoid definition“. He is undoubtedly right, but as readers, we are bound to interpret his works within a different context from that in which he wrote them.<<
