Interpretation
Lucky's place in Waiting for Godot has been heavily debated. Even his name is somewhat elusive. Some have marked him as "lucky" because he is "lucky in the context of the play": he does not have to search for things to occupy his time, which is a major pastime of the other characters. Pozzo tells him what to do, he does it, and is therefore lucky because his actions are determined absolutely. Beckett asserted, however, that he is lucky because he has "no expectations". Another interpretation is (somewhat facetiously) that he is lucky because he has only two lines. In the French version of the play, he is known by the same name as he is in the English version, rather than the French word for "lucky", Chanceux.
