Waiting for Godot
Friendships come in many forms. Some friends are extremely close and rely on each other. And others are casual acquaintances that just say hello every time they see each other. In the play Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett, the relationships between Vladimir and Estragon and Pozzo and Lucky are similar, yet by their contrast and effect is created. Vladimir is one of the two protagonists. He retains a memory of most events. However, he is often unsure whether his memory is playing tricks on him. Vladimir is friends with Estragon because Estragon provides him with the chance to remember past events.

In the second act Pozzo is blind and needs their help. The beginning of the play establishes Vladimir and Estragon's relationship. He comments that he has never known Lucky to refuse a bone and hopes that he is not sick. He, like Estragon, cannot remember people he has met. Pozzo is the master who rules over Lucky. For what one lacks, the other makes up for. ely said to him, and relies on Vladimir to remember for him. Vladimir also insists that Estragon would not go far if they parted. Pozzo is blind, not literally, but blinded by certain things. Lucky is only allowed to speak twice during the entire play, but his long monologue is filled with incomplete ideas. Estragon asks Lucky if he wants the bones, but he does not reply, and Pozzo tells Estragon that he can have the bones. He is tied to Pozzo by a rope around his neck and he carries Pozzo's bags. Pozzo and Lucky's relationship is similar to Vladimir's and Estragon.
