The man two tramps wait for in vain in Samuel Beckett's play 等待戈多 (Waiting for Godot). He never comes, and his name stands for something people wait for that never arrives.
Samuel Beckett's 1953 absurdist play, in which two men wait endlessly for a figure named Godot who never appears. A standard reference in Chinese intellectual writing for any anticipated thing that fails to materialize.
