贝克特的代表剧作《等待戈多》有着明显的宗教氛围,剧中出现了大量的基督教意象。然而该剧却缺失了《圣经》中大家所熟悉的一些意象。从神话原型的视角来看,这是对《圣经》中神话意象置换变形式的改写。象征着生命之源的水与承担着延续生命任务的女性在剧中是缺失的,这意味着生命延续的断裂;等待的戈多迟迟不来,暗示着承诺救赎的上帝对人类的疏离;两个流浪汉语言功能退化,无法表达思想,无法正常沟通交流,更凸显了西方现代人的孤独。贝克特通过颠覆《圣经》基督,揭示了西方世界人类处境的尴尬,人类生存本身已然成为荒诞的事实。然而,荒诞并不代表悲观绝望,这是贝克特困惑之下的思索,是他强烈的宗教期待：即在传统基督信念已然颓败衰朽的现代社会,呼吁基督精神的复归,以期为精神枯竭的现代人寻找一种精神支柱。

Waiting for Godot,a representative work of Beckett,presents many Christian images,which assumes Christian atmosphere.However,many familiar images in the Bible are absent.In the perspectives of Mythological and Archetypal approaches,it is the deforming and rewriting of the Bible： there is no water,symbol of life or women,undertaking the task of multiplying,which signifies the suspending of life reproduction;Godot never comes,which symbolizes the loss of hope that God promises to save;With the fail of the communication function of language,men cannot express themselves and cannot communicate with each other,which deepens the loneliness of modern people.By subverting the traditional Bible Christianity,Beckett expresses his strong religious expectation,appealing for the return of the Christian spirit to provide modern people with a spiritual support in a world that the Christian tradition has already collapsed.
