The American writer, historian and philosopher Will Durant once said: "So the history of man follows a vicious circle, because he is not yet master of land that holds him." The earth or concept, rather, that keeps man in a sad cycle in this case is Time because it is an important concept. Time in literature is important to understand because it seems to play a vital role in texts and helps the reader understand them better. Not only that, time can also be seen as a significant underlying theme because it questions and influences the structure of the story, including the characters' actions, dialogue or plot, setting, etc. "Waiting for Godot" and Virginia by Samuel Beckett. “Mrs. Dalloway" uses time to show cyclical patterns that influence many different aspects of the characters. "Waiting for Godot" is a play written by Samuel Beckett, in which two characters called Vladimir and Estragon anticipate and eagerly await the arrival of someone the name of Godot. Time in "Waiting for Gordot" presents many problems to Vladimir and Estragon, whether it is waiting for someone every day, doing the same things and going through the motions, which shows that time is cyclical. From the title we are automatically given the central idea of ​​the play which is centered on time, on waiting, which ironically is in the title of the play. We see that Vladimir and Estragon waste whole days anticipating Gordot's wait for the end he never shows up. “VLADIMIR: Hand in hand from the top of the Eiffel Tower, among the first. We were respectable in those days. Now it's too late. They wouldn't even let us go up are you doing? / ESTRAGON: Taking... half the paper... h, O solemnity; an indescribable pause; a suspense (but that could be his heart, affected, they said, by the flu) before the stroke of Big Ben. There! It thundered outside. First a warning, musical; then the time, irrevocable. The lead circles dissolved into the air. "(1.5) This quote sets the stage for one of the most important aspects of the story, which is the clock, Big Ben. The clock is important because it ensures that time passes and by doing so and the chiming makes Clarrissa understand that the time passes by, everyone around her along with her is aging, which reminds her that they will end with death, and time would still continue without them Big Ben is the representation of cyclical time Beckett, Samuel Waiting for Godot.
