![]() ![]() Estragon does not seem to have read the Bible, and, therefore, does not know that what the four Evangelists have said about the redemption and damnation of the two thieves, crucified by the side of Christ on Mount Calvary. He knows Latin and has read the Old Testament as well as the New with avid care. Vladimir faces the reality.īoth Vladimir and Estragon have to share the intolerable boredom of waiting. Estragon wants to forget his past as well as the stark reality. He has only one mental weakness, his hat constantly pricks him. Vladimir, however, is serious about salvation. He waits for God not so much for spiritual salvation as for some material benefit. Once he had thrown himself into a river to put an end to his dreary existence, and Vladimir rescued him. His boots constantly pinch him, and he whines like a child. Estragon dreams, for by dreaming he can withdraw from the alien and hostile world. ![]()
