I think that Pozzo wanting to abandon Lucky underlines the existentialist themes in the play. With existentialism, no matter what you accomplish in life (Lucky becoming knowledgeable enough to be Pozzo's teacher) it all means nothing in the end because you'll die anyway. Even though Lucky has had a long and somewhat successful life, he is now an old and useless slave that Pozzo doesn't even want anymore. This shows the underlying cycle of life to death and of use to useless.
Pozzo and Lucky is an example of change within life. Through out the whole play you will see that only they hold the existence of time (Pozzo’s time piece) so the underlying message Beckett may be trying to show is the idea of the cycle of life just like Keyaira said earlier one is born and one dies. I believe the reason why Beckett has introduced the characters is to show passing of time. - Hephza
