Waiting for Godot vs Notes from Underground — A Digital Humanities Comparative Study

Theme: A philosophical exploration of humanity’s eternal search for meaning — where Waiting for Godot dramatizes the outward quest for answers, and Notes from Underground turns inward to seek them. This project examines how both reveal the timeless human struggle to understand who we are, why we exist, and why the answers remain elusive.

What this project does

• Builds a small comparative corpus (paraphrastic, libre) for Godot and Notes
• Runs mixed‑method analysis: frequency, sentiment (lexicon‑based), lexical diversity, theme hits (outward vs inward), dialogicity, keyword extraction, and a co‑occurrence network
• Generates charts in output/ and a Pages‑ready site in docs/ with interpretation

How to run (locally)

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate   # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python code/analyze_godot_notes_project.py

Outputs will appear in output/ and are embedded in docs/index.md (after you enable GitHub Pages).
