Waiting for Godot: Pozzo


	Appearance	Role
	Journeys along the road in both acts Acts superior to Vladimir and Estragon- 'You are human beings none the less...of the the same species as Pozzo!'- acts like God Believes himself to be a distinguished gentleman- 'Do I look like a man who can suffer' Believes Lucky in honoured to be with him- sees himself as a benevolent master- 'the goodness of my heart!'	Abuses Lucky as his 'slave', physically and emotionally- 'up pig!', 'old dogs have more dignity', '(places the **** of the whip against Lucky's chest and pushes it)' Vladimir and Estragon seem scared of him but still mock his act of superiority- 'I once knew a family called Gozzo. Mother had the clap.' When Colin Duckworth asked Beckett whether Pozzo was Godot, the author replied: 'No. It is just implied in the text, but it's not true.'- but could be Godot returning everyday to see if Vladimir and Estragon deserve saving
	Development (Growth & change)	Identity
	Blind in Act 2- possibly as a symbol of retribution for his actions Doesn't remember like Vladimir does- 'I don't remember having me anyone yesterday' 'I used to have wonderful sight'- stripped of identity	Solely dependant on Lucky In Act 2 rope between him and Lucky is shorter- suggesting decreased power of Pozzo and a mutual dependance now that they are both crippled
