Waiting For Godo

Characters

Vladimir

Vladimir is one of the two protagonists. He is a bum like Estragon, but 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. Vladimir is the one who makes Estragon wait with him for Mr. Godot’s imminent arrival throughout the play. Vladimir has been compared to the intellect which provides for the body, represented by Estragon.
