This painting symbolize longing. In both are the setting of the play and painting can be connected with "waiting ".

Ans - (2)  Tree is important in both of the setting. In the second act the tree grown some leaves its shows archetypal idea about life, death and reborn. Nature is cycle of life.

And  - (3)   In both acts evening falls into night And moon rises. It is also connected with human life. In that act we have some desire and despair for that we are living, night gives hope that another day will come and something will happen. 

Ans  -  (4)   Adding debris into the scene is addition of the director of the movie. "Waiting for Godot "is Ans absurd drama in the concept of nothingness so life and nothingness of life .

Ans  - (5)   The play begins with the dialogue "Nothing to be done ".Vladimir is play with the hat and Estragon is play boot. Hat is suggest that intellectual thinking or practicality. Vladimir has practical sense of doing work. Boot is suggesting that carelessness of thing or thinking without logic. Boot stand for Estragon. He has more carelessness or he also not remembers the thing. 

Ans   -  (6)   Yes , I agree that this play is positive. Life goes on, no matter what we are gaining or losing .This Play because positive they are waiting for Godot nothing happen in entire play only wait for Godot same it is related with universal idea for cycle of birth, life, rebirth and waiting is for hope everyone whatever they do ultimately they are doing wait for death.

Ans  - (7)    In this play boot symbolizing carelessness and irresponsible lifestyle of person toward society. Boots here may relate with the body and it shows the material thing. Hat also play vital role in the play. It is related with the character of Vladimir. The hat Also shows the higher order thinking and logical connection. 

Ans  -  (8)   Yes,  the subject of this play is not Godot but waiting because the activity of both characters shows nothingness. In this play when Estragon tries to help lucky then he kicks badly. Only the story goes on moving with the illogical activities of them. They only are killing the time. 

Ans  -  (9)   Godo can be seen as 'God' an  object of desire ' And also as 'death ' Vladimir and Estragon are also waiting for Godot to come  who has white bread. Godot is 'death '. The final reality of life. Godot is 'object of human desires. 'Desires are never fulfilled. 

Ans  -  (10)    Yes  'Waiting ',is main subject because in this play nothing happens only one action that is waiting.... .. Waiting..... Waiting...... Because no body comes, nobody goes....... 

Ans   -  (11)   It present the idea of human mind that sometimes we know abour our act. That is is meaningless though we do that. It symbolized nothingness and meaningless of human life. 

And.   -  (12)   The sequence I like the most is conversation of Vladimir with the boy because the boy is very mysterious and his answer to Vladimir have deep  meaning .

Ans.  - (13)   They could  not do suicide because of fear of punishment by god to doing suicide is sin. 

     

Ans. -  (14)  Idea of hanging :- hanging may be the way of solution to get prid form suffer and problem but it is never can give Justice to us and same way Vladimir and Estragon think on it and they postponed the idea of hanging themselves and. It's shows the hidden fear of god. But point is that after the death what happened with us, we never known ,if there is new birth then it will same thing at usually. 

Ans.  -  (15)  We can look at from that angle then we can read that thing also. Lucky is from England and through that character we can see the situation of England .and compare to Russia, France  and Italy the condition of England is not better. So we can also read form that angle. 

Ans.  -  (16)    Yes,   it is possible because Beckett can't escape himself for completely. And his thoughts reflect in this play. So we,  can't say it is completely right or not but think about that... 

Thank you....
