Main Findings: Samuel Beckett's dramatic works are a linguistic paradox, lexically simple but structurally complicated, according to our linguistic analysis. However, UAMTC was employed as the primary tool, and the other techniques were only used to verify the results' validity and complement specific areas of analysis that UAMCT lacked. Methodology: Computational techniques such as UAMCT, MAT, SUAS, and AntConc were used to analyze the data. The study also looks into whether linguistic interpretations of Waiting for Godot are compatible with Existential readings. The importance of these texts' linguistic characteristics has also been investigated. Purpose of the study: In this study, Samuel Beckett's dramatic writings' major aspects and linguistic qualities are examined, focusing on Waiting for Godot. It puts Waiting for Godot beyond modern existentialist analysis and associates it with the impotent human and God in leading human destiny resulting in the characters' frustration in an infinite purgatory world. Discussions revealed that due to the characters' inability to accept their responsibility of life and aimless wasting of waiting for a savior, their essence precedes their existence but endless waiting does not actualize the priority of essence. Characters were studied using philosophical approaches of Kierkegaard and Sartre's existentialism. To this end, both attitudes were examined through traits and characteristics of the two main characters of Vladimir and Estragon whether to perceive them as existentialist or essentialist. Some critics categorized it as existential, absurd and Christian existentialism, while this study has provided textual indications and discussions to dissociate it from existentialist philosophy of Sartre and Kierkegaard's Christian existentialism.
Samul Beckett's play waiting for Godot has received different contradictory criticisms.
