discus the characteristics of lucky in waiting for godot?discus broadly the different kind of characteristics found in lucky..it is a broad...

Lucky is the elderly slave of Pozzo, an elderly man
himself.  He is physically whipped and prodded onto the stage and forced to dance and
sing like a trained monkey.  If Vladimir and Estragon are waiting for hope in the form
of a person named Godot, Lucky is the arrival of bitterness and
sadness.


Oddly, Lucky does not lash out at Pozzo, but is
eager to do what is asked of him despite the pain and sadness it causes him.  In this,
Lucky, as a character is a paradox.  Why does he act kindly toward a man who grossly
mistreats him?


Interpreting Lucky's character depends on
which approach you take.  For example, a religious intepretation could have Lucky
represent faithful because he follows Pozzo around when Pozzo mistreats him and when
Pozzo is nicer to him.


Another interpreation is that Lucky
is actually lucky.  He doesn't have to make any decisions because he is ordered to do
everything he does.
