Autobiographical

Waiting for Godot has been described as a "metaphor for the long walk into Roussillon, when Beckett and Suzanne slept in haystacks... during the day and walked by night... of the relationship of Beckett to Joyce ". Beckett told Ruby Cohn that Caspar David Friedrich 's painting Two Men Contemplating the Moon, which he saw on his journey to Germany in 1936, was a source for the play.
