Synopsis: Vladimir, the more “philosophical” of the two vagrants in Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, stiffens their morale by asking, “. . . what’s the good of losing heart now? We should have thought of it a million years ago, in the nineties!” What does this mean in the play’s context? What were the nineties that these bewildered blighters should recall them with regret? It was perhaps a time when they had not yet entered upon their agony. It was a time of certainty, a beautiful time-or so it seemed to them and to most of their contemporaries.
