【正文】 adimir takes up the thought and muses on it. The pair discusses repentance, particularly in relation to the two thieves and crucified Jesus. Estragon dozes off, but, after rousing him, Vladimir is not interested in hearing about his dream. Estragon suggests that they hang themselves, but they abandon the idea when it seems that they might not both die: leaving one of them alone. Their waiting is interrupted by the passing through of Pozzo and his heavilyladen slave Lucky who has a rope tied around his neck and his master Pozzo holds the other end. Pozzo orders his slave and frequently calls him a pig. They mistake him at first for Godot and clearly do not recognize him for the selfproclaimed personage he is. Vladimir takes Pozzo to task regarding his mistreatment of his slave, but his protestations are ignored. Before he leaves, Pozzo asks if he can do anything for the pair in exchange for the pany they have provided during his rest. Estragon tries to ask for some money, but Vladimir cuts him short, explaining that they are not beggars. They nevertheless accept an offer to have Lucky dance and to think. Once Lucky has been revived, Pozzo has him pack up his things and they leave. At the end of the act, a boy arrives, purporting to be a messenger sent from Godot, to advise the pair that he will not be ing that evening but surely tomorrow. After the boy departs, they decide to leave but make no attempt to do so, an action repeated in Act II, as the curtain is drawn. Act II Act II opens with Vladimir singing about a dog. Once again Estragon maintains he spent the night in a ditch and was beaten. Vladimir tries to talk to him about what appears to be a seasonal change in the tree and the proceedings of the day before, but he has only a vague recollection. Vladimir tries to get Estragon to remember Pozzo and Lucky, but all he can call to mind are the bones and getting kicked. Vladimir realizes an opportunity to produce tangible evidence of the previous day39。s events. With some difficulty he gets Estragon to show him his leg. There is a wound which is beginning to fester. Only then Vladimir notices that Estragon is not wearing any boots. Vladimir notices Lucky39。s hat, and tries it on. They play at imitating Pozzo and Lucky, but Estragon can barely remember having met them and simply does what Vladimir asks. They fire insults at each other and then make up. After that, they attempt some physical routines which do not work out well. Pozzo and Lucky arrive with Pozzo now blind and insisting that Lucky is dumb. The rope is much shorter, and Lucky – who has acquired a new hat – leads Pozzo, rather than being driven by him. Pozzo has lost all notion of time, and assures them he cannot remember meeting them the day before, and does not expect to remember the current day39。s events when they are over. Lucky and Pozzo depart. The same boy returns to inform them not to expect Godot today, but promises he will arrive the next day. The two again consider suicide but their rope, Estragon39。s belt, breaks in two when they tug on it. Estragon39。s trousers fall down, but he does not notice until Vladimir tells him to pull them up. They resolve to bring a more suitable piece and hang themselves the next day, if Godot fails to arrive. Again, they agree to leave but neither of them makes any move to go. 4.. Characters Vladimir and Estragon When Beckett started writing he did not have a visual image of Vladimir and Estragon. They are never referred to as tramps in the text. There are no physical descriptions of either of the two characters. Throughout the play the couple refers to each other by pet names, Didi and Gogo. Pozzo and Lucky Although Beckett refused to be drawn on the backgrounds of the characters, this has not stopped actors looking for their own motivation. When Beckett was asked why Lucky was so named, he replied that he supposed he is lucky to have no more expectations. Little is learned about Pozzo besides the fact that he is on his way to the fair to sell his slave, Lucky. Pozzo is a character who has to overpensate. That39。s why he overdoes things. Pozzo controls Lucky by means of an extremely long rope which he jerks and tugs if Lucky is the least bit slowly. Lucky is the absolutely subservient slave of Pozzo and he unquestioningly does his every bidding with doglike devotion. The Boy The cast list specifies only one boy. The boy in Act I, a local lad, assures Vladimir that this is the first ti me he has seen him. He says he was not there the previous day. He confirms he works for Mr. Godot as a goatherd. His brother, whom Godot beats, is a shepherd. Godot feeds both of them and allows them to sleep in his hayloft. The boy in Act II also assures Vladimir that it was not he who called upon them the day before. He insists that this too is his first visit. When Vladimir asks what Godot does the boy tells him that he does nothing. We also learn he has a white beard – possibly, the boy is not certain. This boy also has a brother who it seems is sick but there is no clear evidence to suggest that his brother is the boy that came in Act I or the one who came the day before that. Godot The identity of Godot has been the subject of much debate. When Roger Blin asked him who or what Godot stood for, Beckett replied that it suggested itself to him by the slang word for boot in French, godillot, godasse because feet play such a prominent role in the play. This is the explanation he has given most often. Illogical and Meaningless Dialogue Black humor might be connected with these dialogues. The two leading roles are totally talking nonsense. Their words are meaningless and illogical: …… Estragon:（ giving up again） Nothing to be done. Vladimir: …… So there you are again Estragon: Am I? …… Vladimir: And they didn’t be
