In a tradition of phenomenological readings of Beckett's Waiting for Godot, critics argue that the play stands in mimetic or even symbolic relation to "the human condition", 1 an argument that tacitly depends upon the romantic valorization of the symbol, upon an intrinsic unity between appearance and essence which retains a quasi-sacred function. 7 DESAI.
