Soon after, the boy reappears to report that Godot will not be coming. Lucky and Pozzo exit shortly after their spirited encounter, leaving Vladimir and Estragon to go on waiting. Pozzo cannot recall ever having met Vladimir and Estragon, who themselves cannot agree on when they last saw the travelers. Pozzo has become blind and Lucky is now fully mute. Lucky and Pozzo eventually reappear, but not as they were previously. Vladimir and Estragon are again waiting near the tree, which has grown a number of leaves since it was last seen in Act 1. Vladimir and Estragon then announce that they will also leave, but they remain onstage without moving. Vladimir asks for descriptions of Godot, receiving only extremely brief or vague answers from the boy, who soon exits. Pozzo and Lucky soon depart, leaving the bewildered Estragon and Vladimir to continue their wait for the absent Godot.Įventually, a boy shows up and explains to Vladimir and Estragon that he is a messenger from Godot, and that Godot will not be arriving tonight, but surely tomorrow.

Following Pozzo's command "Think!", the otherwise mute Lucky performs a sudden dance and monologue: a torrent of academic-sounding phrases mixed with pure nonsense. Pozzo states that he is on the way to the market, at which he intends to sell Lucky for profit. Lucky is bound by a rope held by Pozzo, who forces Lucky to carry his heavy bags and physically punishes him if he deems Lucky's movements too lethargic.

Subsequently, an imperious traveler named Pozzo, along with his silent slave Lucky, arrives and pauses to converse with Vladimir and Estragon. They are not certain if they have ever met Godot, nor if he will even arrive. The duo discuss a variety of issues at length, none of any apparent significance, and it is finally revealed that they are awaiting a man named Godot. Estragon notifies Vladimir of his most recent troubles: he spent the previous night lying in a ditch and received a beating from a number of anonymous assailants. The play opens with two bedraggled acquaintances, Vladimir and Estragon, meeting by a leafless tree.
