(Waiting for Godot :the reason why tree has got leaves)
In Beckett's Waiting for Godot, the leaves of the tree spring up in one night.
Estragon's shoes, left by him at the end of the first part, and found again at the beginning of the second one, have oddly turned too tight for him. Those riddles are explained by Beckett's will to show up Vladimir's growing madness. For that purpose, Beckett also uses a transposition of Marcel Proust's involontary memory about which he wrote an early essay in his youth.
