Ponder over these points:
1) Pozzo is a strict believer in his ability to understand and measure time. He asks how old Vladimir is, he consults his watch to determine how many years have passed (sixty) since he supposedly stopped being trivial, he rhapsodizes on twilight (a temporal grey area between day and night), he functions by a "schedule," and he tells Vladimir to believe whatever he likes except the notion that time has stopped. 2) Pozzo loses his watch. He thinks he hears it ticking, but discovers that is in fact only the human heartbeat. Time is not controllable anymore because he is now forced to measure it in terms of human life – the counting down of a pumping heart. This is a terrifying thought (and Pozzo even cries out "Damnation!"); a pumping human heart can only mean one thing: that heart will, at one point in time, stop pumping. 3) In fact, this thought is so terrifying that Pozzo decides to become blind. suffering in Waiting for Godot is self-imposed. He has chosen to be blind because he does not want to face the fact of his own ticking heart. The portrait of daily life painted by Waiting for Godot is a dismal one. It is repetitive and stagnant. It lacks meaning and purpose and entails perpetual suffering. Go ahead with its Themes to find your queries.
