Abstract
The work of the Irish writer Samuel Beckett (1906–89) was substantially influenced by his medical readings. In 1952, he wrote his masterpiece Waiting for Godot, a play associated with the Theatre of the Absurd which described the fanciful lucubrations of two marginalised men, Vladimir and Estragon, awaiting the arrival of someone (a saviour; does Godot represent God?) who will never come. While they wait, they are joined by two other marginalised men (Pozzo and Lucky) with a comparable style of dialogue.
