Moreover ‚ we can notice binary opposition even in appearance of these two main characters ( Vladimir and Estragon )∙ For example ‚ Vladimir is tall and thin ∙ On the other hand ‚ Estragon is short and fat ∙ Also ‚ at level of their feelings we can notice that the only social conscience in the play can be seen in Vladimir∙ Comparing to Estragon’s bad view of humanity∙ He sees people as ‛ ignorant apes ’ ∙ Vladimir expresses a great anger at the way Pozzo treats his slave Lucky∙ Estragon is an impulsive character while Vladimir depicts the intellectual side ∙ Vladimir concerned much with appearances in contrast to Estragon who didn’t concerned much with appearances ∙ Estragon ’s main concern is eating and sleeping ∙
Vladimir and Estragon actions are the antithesis of one another ∙ For example
