Here is reference of Got and sheep .

In the video "The Sheep and the Goat Waiting for Godot Samuel Beckett," it  delves into the biblical allusion of the sheep and the goats within Beckett's play. It highlight the inversion of traditional roles, where the boy tending goats is treated kindly, while his brother, who minds the sheep, is beaten. This subversion prompts a reevaluation of conventional moral and religious interpretations, emphasizing the play's themes of ambiguity and existential uncertainty.

Here is reference of 'Hope' in waiting for Godot.

In the video titled "Christian Faith or Sartrean Bad Faith Waiting for Godot," the speaker examines whether Samuel Beckett's play "Waiting for Godot" should be interpreted as a Christian or religious work. They delve into themes of faith, existentialism, and the concept of "bad faith" as proposed by philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre. The discussion aims to explore the play's portrayal of human existence, the search for meaning, and the role of religious belief within that context.
