Question

What is the state of Lucky in Act 2?

• A. He is mute and unable to speak
• B. He is overly talkative and dominating the conversation
• C. He is shouting and expressing his frustrations loudly
• D. He is singing and dancing joyfully

Answer 1

Answer:

A. He is mute and unable to speak

• In Act 2 of Waiting for Godot, Lucky is mute and unable to speak, which is a significant change from Act 1, where he delivers a long, disjointed speech.

• In Act 1, Lucky is physically and mentally abused by Pozzo, and his speech is chaotic and filled with nonsensical words.

• However, in Act 2, Lucky's silence emphasizes his further degradation and loss of autonomy.

• He has become more passive and dependent, as he no longer has a voice to express himself.
