The Weirdest Scene in 'Waiting for Godot'

In the rising action, Vladimir and Estragon hear a terrible cry as the boisterous Pozzo stops to eat

and talk to the two men as he roughly orders around and abuses Lucky, his subservient

slave, whom he keeps on a rope. Lucky is unresponsive, except when following

Pozzo's orders. Pozzo commands Lucky, "Dance" and "Think." After his silly dance,

Lucky's thinking produces a jumbled speech that verges on profound meaning until it becomes

increasingly unhinged in his passionate delivery, until the others angrily attack him

and make him stop. Lucky and Pozzo soon leave, and a boy arrives with a message from

Godot. "He will not come this evening, but surely tomorrow."
