Beckett's literary reputation and acclaim steadily improved in the 1960s, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969 (he gave away the prize money.) Beckett died in 1989 and was buried in Paris along with his wife. This was followed by more plays, including the equally experimental Endgame. But it was for his experimental plays that he would become best known, especially Waiting for Godot, which premiered in Paris (in its original French) in 1953. Meanwhile, he continued to write, including a trilogy of well-known novels ( Molloy, Malone Dies, and The Unnamable).

He moved to Paris in 1937, stayed there when World War II began in 1939, and joined French Resistance forces when the Nazis occupied the country. He soon quit the job, though, in 1931, and traveled around Europe, continuing to write. He moved back to Ireland in 1930, when he took up a job as a lecturer at Trinity College. The boy leaves and Estragon and Vladimir are ready to leave for the night. He tells Vladimir that he works for Godot, minding his goats, and says that Godot is a good master. He says Godot will not come today, but will come the next day. The sheer emptiness and randomness of the plot causes the audience (or reader) to wonder if anything is going to happen, and whether there is any meaning to anything in the playor in life. After graduating, he taught in Paris, where he met fellow modernist Irish writer James Joyce and worked on both critical and creative writings. A boy comes onstage, bearing a message from Godot. Waiting for Godot, published by Samuel Beckett in 1949, is a work of Absurdism that explores themes of Existentialist philosophy. Samuel Beckett grew up in Dublin and attended Trinity College, Dublin, where he studied French, English, and Italian. Waiting for Godot (composed 1948-49, premiered 1953) is the best-known theatrical work by Nobel Prize-winning Irish novelist and playwright Samuel Beckett (1906-1989).
