Wes, Job, I see from the musings of you retrobates that I have already been branded. So be it. "Autre ne veulx estre" - However, thanks! You have provide me with a moniker I can live with - The impulsive misanthrope.
Estragon represents the impulsive, simplistic side of the two main characters, much in contrast to his companion Vladimir's careful intellectualism and verbosity. He cares little for appearances, and is mostly concerned with eating and sleeping (much to Vladimir's chagrin). Due to his pessimistic outlook on life, he has abandoned all hope of any alleviation from their suffering, and regards "Godot" suspiciously.
may well be you, but i think of you as the merging of these two entities - the "impulsive intellectual"
