时间的囚笼--从文本的时间因素谈《等待戈多》的主题

本从时间入手探讨了荒诞派戏剧《等待戈多》的深刻寓意。时间在该剧中既推动着剧情的发展，也反映着“二战”后由于终极价值的解体而弥漫西方世界的失落感和迷茫感。它的存在形式揭示了人生的无意义。为了继续活下去，人们不得不选择遗忘，而遗忘的尽头却是精神的死亡。这部剧寓言式地刻画了处于物质的死亡和精神的死亡夹缝之间的西方现代人的生存痛苦，在遗忘的荒野上呼唤着思想的回归和生命意义的重建。

On the Theme of Waiting for Godot from the Angle of Time

This paper mainly explores the implied meaning of Waiting for Godot from the prospect of time, which in the play not only pushes on the action, but also reflects a sense of loss and perplexity prevalent in the Western World after the Second World War. The way that time is represented embodies the nothingness of life. In order to escape from the truth, the protagonists choose to forget the past, whereas what follows is only the death of spirit. By the symbol of time, this drama reveals the splitting pain that a person suffers between the physical death and spiritual death that he seems doomed to face in the modern life, and urges for the return of meaningful thoughts and life on the wasteland of oblivion.
