Dramatic significance of the Pozzo Lucky scenes in Waiting for Godot

Answer

How would you relate the Pozzo Lucky episodes to the theme of the play Waiting for Godot as a whole?
Or, what is the dramatic significance of the Pozzo Lucky scenes in Waiting for Godot?
Or, Write a note on the relevance or the Pozzo-Lack appearances to the total scheme or waiting for Godot.

The Pozzo-Lucky relationship constitutes a subsidiary theme in the play Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett (1906-1989). The dominant theme of this play is “waiting”-waiting, boredom, ignorance, and impotence. The Pozzo-lucky relationship does not seem to have any basic or integral connection with this dominant theme. In fact, the connection between the two pairs of characters in the play is not very close or intimate. The Pozzo Lucky scenes representing a master-slave relationship are thus intended to add to the substance of the play and to introduce some variety as regards the subject matter.

The Mood of Gloom and Despair: This does not mean, however, that the Pozzo-Lucky episodes have no connection at all with the main theme of the play. These scenes reinforce the mood of gloom and despair, which the play is intended to create. Lucky’s plight under the tyrannical mastership of Pozzo is very wretched indeed. We first see Lucky driven by Pozzo by means of a rope tied around his neck. More dog-like than human, he must respond to the cracking of a whip, which he himself carries between his teeth till his master” has need of it.

He is also to carry upon his shoulders the weight of Pozzo’s belongings. Bent under the weight of his burden, Lucky resembles the Biblical ass. He has a sore neck, which excites the sympathy even of the two tramps. His plight seems to us all the more pathetic in the light of his past brilliance when he radiated “beauty, grace, the truth of the first water” and when he could really dance and sing with real joy.
