-Estragon: A patience, and sometimes, fool man, who frequently asks things about everything. This makes angry to Vladimir, but with this, seems to be an innocent man who hasn’t know anything about life.

-Pozzo: An old man, maybe in his sixties, that seems to be the owner of Lucky. He carries him with a rope and constantly gives orders. He seems to be a rich and crazy man, with no moral, and no respect for the people.

-Lucky: The slave of Pozzo. He ony says one thing in all the play, but it’s a smart thing, symbol that even he, a slave, is more intelligente that his owner. Although this, he does everything that his owner command.

-A boy: This little boy appears short time in the play and only does it at the ending of the acts. He carries with him a message from Godot. It seems to be a shy boy, who does things that he has ordered.

Two persons are talking about nothing in particular meanwhile they’re waiting for Godot. In their waiting, comical situations happens between Vladimir and Estragon, because they have a good relationship. In their waiting, appears Pozzo and Lucky, owner and slave, thing that disgusts Vladimir. They’re talking about everything, and when they go out of scene, appears "a boy" who has a message from Godot, saying that he can’t go there this day, but tomorrow he’ll surely go. Vladimir and Estragon says that they go, but they stand still. In the beginning of act 2, they’re appear at the same time that yesterday, waiting for Godot, but Estragon doesn’t seem to remember anything about yesterday. Then, Pozzo and Lucky appears, and even they doesn’t remember to met the day before. Finally, the boy appears, and he doesn’t remember anything too. He carries a message from him, a message that Vladimir knows and its that Godot is not going to the citation. They say to go, but they’re stand still…

A street with a tree and a bog, with nothing more around there. The play can be situated at the endings of a world war, thing that is present in the two main characters.

The author uses a few wordplays in the play, like the one of the willow without leaves, symbol that after the war, all the tears has been dropped; other of them, are when Vladimir calls Pozzo and Lucky, Abel and Cain, maybe they’ve thinked that they were brothers… and a few more. The constantly repetition of situations and statementes makes humoristic situations within the characters.

The recent ending of a war is in the mind of the main characters. On the contrary of get depressed, they stand with a smile on the face, joking and staying with his friends. This represents a good face after the war.
