Estragon (character)

Estragon is a central character in Samuel Beckett's play "Waiting for Godot." He is a weary, often disheveled man who, along with Vladimir, waits for someone named Godot. Estragon is characterized by his humor, impulsiveness, and vulnerability; he often struggles with discomfort and forgetfulness. Despite his apparent simplicity, he reflects themes of existential uncertainty, the passage of time, and human dependence. His interactions reveal a search for meaning and companionship, making him a poignant symbol of the human condition and the often indecipherable nature of life's purpose.
