Absurdism as a philosophy stands on the idea that the whole universe is irrational and meaningless and that the look for order brings the person into conflict with the universe. Waiting for Godot, is one of the best examples of absurd literature where the characters are unrecognizable, isolated setting, and the dialogues are meaningless in the traditional sense.This research paper reflects the conflict between the meaning of life and struggles of the life of the characters by using absurd elements like repetitiveness, desolate setting, puppet-like characters, no well-made plot, fantasy, and dark humor, indefinite time, meaningless dialogue and violation of tradition. Based on these elements, this paper shows the suffering of human beings, the boredom of life, struggles between body and mind that we cannot understand which one is right and which one is wrong.
