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

Lucky's speech
What was Lucky talking about and what effect does it have on Pozzo? Why isn't Lucky able to think without his hat? quaquaquaqua?
