This book provides an introductory study of Beckett's
most famous play, dealing not just with the four main
characters but with the pairings that they form, and
the implications of these pairings for the very idea of
character in the play. After locating Godot within the
context of Beckett's work, Lawley discusses some of
the play's puzzles and difficulties-including the
absent "fifth character", Godot himself.
