Questions about godot



1.            What is your character like?  What is he not like?

Vladimir. He has a friend (Estragon = Gogo). Vladimir doesn't want to be alone, he wants company. He is the thinker. He makes the decisions for both of them. He knows that he has a purpose in life, he is waiting for Godot. And he takes that task seriously. He is caring person.
He is not forgetful. Only one time he forgot something (where they were supposed to wait, specific spot). He is not boring for Gogo, he kind of entertain him through the play.

2.            Identify the objects your character interacts with?

There is a carrot, radish, turnips, a hat, a coat

3.            Describe HOW your character interacts with the other characters.  Use specific examples!!!

Vladimir has a soft spot in his heart for Estragon. He embrace him a lot . It seems that V. almost always have answers to Gogo's questions, and his answers are confident.  He is taking care of Gogo like a mother of a child. He is on look out for his friend. When Pozzo came with Lucky, V was telling Gogo to be careful around Lucky, he was protecting his friend. (when L kicked E, V showed compassion toward E)
When V. and E. are talking to Pozzo, V is the one who wants to keep everything in control, he tells E. when to ask Lucky a question. He is the one who sees little details and comment on them, for example how P is treating L.
V wanted L to think above everything else he could do, because he himself was a thinker.
V showed to a boy that he wasn't indifferent to his life by asking him personal questions about his day's routine.

4.            How does your character change?  How does your character behave in act 1?  How does      your character behave in act 2?

I don't think he acts differently in both acts. His personality stays the same.

5.            How does your character make sense of his world?  What does he think?  How does he think

V thinks a lot, he thinks all the time, he thinks for himself and for his friend. Maybe he even thinks that he is like of responsible for his friend and that's why he is always deciding what to do to kill the time. He wants to connect the pass with present . He analyzes. Even though he never saw Godot he figure out quickly that a Pozzo is not Godot, neither Lucky. When he saw a boy, he didn't even let himself to come to the though that it might be a Godot. Somehow he know that he is supposed to be different, and he would recognize him...
