Summary/Abstract: Lucky, as a character removed from the context of the play by taking into consideration just the texts of the stage directions and his monologue, gets a new artistic dimension. The character is defined through three dimensions: silence, movement and word, the balance among the three ones offering a dynamic and creative perspective. Lucky is the opposite of Pozzo in all its aspects. Lucky is the type of character who always has a discourse beyond his words. Lucky’s second ego is more present than his real presence. His silence speaks for him. With all his absence he is present; he takes part and breathes the same breath of the other characters.
