f being alone, when he says: Estragon: (with effort). Gogo light- bough not break- Gogo dead. Didi heavy- bough break- Didi alone. Whereas-Estragon is afraid that if Vladimir is hung first and killed, that he'd be left alone if his attempt at suicide fails. He actually fears being without Vladimir more then being dead. The same connection can be made between Rosencrantz and Guildernstern. These two characters are never split up during the play until the end when they "disappear" or are put to death. They need each other to keep each other occupied especially in such an incomprehensible world. This is evident in the following lines of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead:Guil: All right you go that way, I'll go this way.Ros: Right.They walk towards opposite wings.

No matter what the case they refuse to part from one another's side. They even go so far to make up excuses so that they won't have to be alone and so that they don't have to take any responsibiliti...
