Samuel Beckett seems to be possessed by the idea of repetition to the extent that it becomes one of the principal traits which distinguish his works. Repetition here should not be confined to the abstract dictionary meaning. The term simply suggests that there are similar dramatic settings, situations, and phrases which may be found in more than one place in the same play and in their relation to the theme of the playwright they take on a deeper, suggestive significance, larger than the singular situation when it is presented once. The dramatic function of repetition is to achieve certain dramatic purposes that to provide us with a useful key in attempt pting an interpretation of the play and to make us see clearly the meaning and the relevance of the dramatist's philosophy. This claim can be substantiated by discussing and examining the ideas of Beckett and how repetition becomes of great significance in presenting the setting, action and dialogue in a symbolic way in Waiting for Godot.
