"Gogo's" Struggle With Taking Off Shoe

Now, according to Ms. Davis (and almost every literature professor out there), reputable authors construct situations in their plotlines with meaning.

Keeping this in mind, what did Beckett have in mind when introducing the reader to Vladmir and Estragon with a struggle to take off a shoe. Was it to convey the mundane activities with which we as humans occupy ourselves or something different (following what I first mentioned)? Or am I overanalyzing this? 

Significance of Dehumanizing Lucky

So, I've taken in some comments posted by IB students about the play, and I've gathered that figuratively, "Waiting For Godot" depicts how humans need a purpose to live (Tiffany's comment).

Now, taking into consideration this broad theme, what is Beckett's purpose in dehumanizing Lucky (an ironic name, if I can add)? I had to re-read his initial description to figure out that he is a human being, not a horse. The rope around his neck, the baggage-carrying responsibility, the lack of speech--what does it mean?

Was it common for people to hang themselves out of boredom during this time?

What is the relationship between Pozzo and Lucky?

So if Godot could be compared to Christ, then is redemption one of the themes of the story? And if so why do Didi and Gogo now seek redemption or believe that they'll obtain it.

How does Didi and Gogo "know" Pozzo and Lucky, and why did they "pretend" to not recognize them???

How long have they been waiting for Godot?

Based on the dialogue presented in the beginning between Vladimir and Estragon, what conclusions can be made about their character?

What was the meaning behind Lucky's speech , were those words of significance ? Or senseless babble of a battered man??

Sup

Why are they waiting for Godot ?

Act 1

Why is lucky being used as a slave, if it seems he has so much intelligence when he"thinks"?

Hey, what is the reason behind the entire conversation between Estragon, Vladimir, and Pozzo? I understand that Vladimir is attempting to figure out why Pozzo is treating Lucky as a slave and that the act of enslaving this man is appalling to him, but then why don't they just leave them and continue on their wait for Godot?
