as i read all the discussion above, i noticed that godot doesnt mean 'god'. i read samuel backett say it doesnt mean god. but, as i go through as much info i got from the internet, the theme of this play closely related with it, 'god'. from my own interpretation also, the theme of this play concerns with human hope and waiting 'god' that never shows. can we have other interpretation aside what backett mentions? maybe godot have dual meaning?
I understand the word "godot" is Gaelic for "forever". Is this correct and if so which regional Gaelic is it? I'm guessing from Brittany, but that is just a guess.

Pronunciation: You're Doing It Wrong.
"Godot" is pronounced "GOD-o" not "Guh-DOE" (and certainly not "God-dot"). Who ever told you it was "Guh-DOE" is incorrect, although it's probably not their fault. Pretty much the entirety of America pronounces it that way, for some reason.Anyway, please, please, correct your director, correct your teacher, correct EVERYONE who pronounces it incorrectly! Samuel Beckett is rolling in his grave!
