Editing Waiting for Godot (section)

==== Freudian ====
"Bernard Dukore develops a triadic theory in ''Didi, Gogo and the absent Godot'', based on [[Sigmund Freud]]'s trinitarian description of the [[psyche (psychology)|psyche]] in ''[[The Ego and the Id]]'' (1923) and the usage of [[onomastics|onomastic]] techniques. Dukore defines the characters by what they lack: the rational Go-go embodies the incomplete ego, the missing [[pleasure principle (psychology)|pleasure principle]]: (e)go-(e)go. Di-di (id-id) – who is more instinctual and irrational – is seen as the backward id or subversion of the rational principle. Godot fulfills the function of the superego or moral standards. Pozzo and Lucky are just re-iterations of the main protagonists. Dukore finally sees Beckett's play as a [[metaphor]] for the futility of man's existence when salvation is expected from an external entity, and the self is denied introspection."<ref>Sion, I., "The Zero Soul: Godot's Waiting Selves In Dante's Waiting Rooms".
