The scene I choose is in the beginning of the second act.
On page 38 through 39.
It's when Vladimir is asking Etragon if someone beats him at night. And E. is thinking that V. seems more happy without him.
1. Why did V. sing? Is that because he was just happy?
2. Why E. is always thinking that V might be better alone, than with E.?
3. How come V missed E but that the same time he was happy?
4. How did E reacted to it?
5. Why V sounded happy when he said "Now? (joyous) There you are again", and his happiness disappear with every word when he continued "there we are again... (gloomy) there I am again."
6. Why V used work "crawling" when he asked "then why do you always come crawling back?", why he didn't used any other words? Did they indeed "crawled"?
7. When V. tried to understand why "they" bit E, he said "I would have stopped you from doing whatever it was you were doing" E said that he didn't do anything. What did he mean by that? Did he  mean that  he didn't do anything BAD? Or he meant that he didn't do anything good, when he could have and that's why he got the biting. ?
8. V and E are talking about been happy. Why V needed to hear from E that he was happy even if it's not true?

12. Was it truly yesterday when act one happened? Or more time has passed?
13. How does E forget immediately or never forget? Does he do it on purpose? When he actually remember something from the past...
