In our performance, we tried to highlight this isolation by having the characters stand independently of each other, hardly moving in space or interacting. Pozzo, sitting in the center, separated Estragon and Vladimir, as if further breaking relations in the group. While Estragon spends the scene indulging Pozzo's mannerisms, humoring him by asking him to sit down, Vladimir spends most of the scene waiting for night to fall and wanting to leave, and largely ignores Pozzo's affectations. Pozzo, however, remains unaware of Vladimir's indifference; instead, she launches into a monologue to explain the concept of night to him, a notion that is both condescending and superior. His description of the night is an attempt at poetic discourse, but fails repeatedly when he interrupts his grandiose language with technical details and specifics. This misguided attempt to express understanding with others only further illustrates the type of person Pozzo is meant to represent, one who sees any topic of conversation only as a means to draw attention to his own dramatic orations, and one who sees such orations as a gift to their listeners - Pozzo later included "I had explained the twilight" (40) in his list of things he had done
