Cory Conforth 2/13/13 Infinitely Waiting for Godot Vladimir and Estragon are two tramps waiting for someone who is never going to come around. We all may find ourselves waiting at one point in time may it are at the grocery store or simply waiting outside of my English class.

In Vladimir’s case‚ he chooses to spend his time waiting for Godot rather than engaging in other activities that may be more entertaining. However‚ he states that he and Estragon can’t leave‚ which is false. Had Vladimir taken some time to think through his decisions‚ he would’ve realized that he had no reason to wait
