Pozzo, whom Estragon initially mistakes for Godot, is perhaps the most aggressive and antagonistic character in the play.

Pozzo is a landowner and, in many stagings of the play, has a less-distressed costume than ...
Pozzo and Lucky enter. Pozzo drives lucky like an animal with a rope around his neck. He carries a whip to drive him along, while Lucky carries a folding stool, a bag, a picnic basket, and a coat.

All four men now lie on the ground, and Vladimir and Estragon begin to nap. They are woken shortly by Pozzo's shouting, and Vladimir strikes Pozzo to make him stop.
