In Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot," a conversation unfolds between two characters, Estragon and Vladimir. Estragon suggests the idea of repentance, pondering what they might need to repent for. Vladimir's response indicates confusion over the need for repentance, leading to a deeper consideration of their existence itself.

The exchange highlights themes of existentialism and the search for meaning in life. Estragon's vague notion of repentance contrasts with Vladimir's more profound questioning of their very being, suggesting a struggle with purpose and the burden of existence in an absurd world.
