Estragon

Estragon is one of the two main characters in Samuel Beckett's play "Waiting for Godot." He is an aging, often weary man who, along with Vladimir, spends the play engaging in seemingly trivial activities while awaiting the arrival of someone named Godot. Estragon is characterized by his humor, vulnerability, and tendency to forget or misremember details, reflecting themes of existential uncertainty and the human condition. His interactions reveal struggles with memory, identity, and hope, making him a poignant representation of the human tendency to seek meaning amid ambiguity.
