What We Think

Samuel Beckett’s "Waiting For Godot" remains blissfully unwoke. Its focus is existentialism, not modern identity politics. Whatever you think of its style, this is one for the non-woke bookshelf.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Waiting For Godot" tells a surreal, existential story focused on universal human questions , not identity politics. Characters are developed by their personalities and absurd situations, not their demographics. No forced representation or modern ideological meddling here: it's existentialism, not activism.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The play does gently poke fun at religion and traditional values, but it’s more about exploring meaninglessness than subverting cultural norms. It doesn’t attack masculinity, family, or morality in the modern 'woke' sense. Any undermining is philosophical, not ideological.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no ideological conformity , just a bleak, open-ended meditation on existence. There’s no sermonizing, no vilifying of tradition, and certainly no parade of smug modern virtues. If anything, it’s refreshingly non-prescriptive and pluralistic.
