Broadly discuss the characteristics of Estragon in Waiting for Godot?

Estragon (also found under the nickname GOGO), is one of
the main characters of Samuel Beckett's absurd play Waiting for
Godot.

The most salient characteristics of
Estragon in the play come from his intellect, rather than his demeanor, or his looks.
Almost immediately after the play begins we realize that he is basically the weakest
link of the Vladimir-Estragon dyad. For once, he needs much reinforcement and help from
Vladimir in terms of taking care of himself, understanding things, and remembering
situations.

Estragon does not ponder upon things, but
worries about them instead. In the play he is in a consistent state of anxiety and
doubt. He wants to leave Vladimir, but never does. He questions the existence of Godot,
but keeps waiting for him at Vladimir's request. He is what we could call a
simpleton.

This being said, Estragon represents a weaker
dimension of society. He is the follower, the one who obeys the order rather than
initiate it, and lives in such a cloud that he hardly has time to realize what is
happening around him.

Symbolically speaking, Estragon
represents living in oblivion. Not knowing what is going on in the world around you, and
following whatever others tell you to do. He is every person who does not control life
and, contrastingly, allows life to control him (along with Pozzo and who knows how
many)

Socially, Estragon represents the typical oppressed
citizen that does not question nor fight the current situation: He simply lets
everything happen even if it means getting beat up, or talked down to. Contrastingly to
Lucky, who has no choice, Estragon very well could change his life if only he weren't so
co-dependent on Vladimir.

In conclusion, Estragon is the
weaker man between himself and Vladimir. He is also a co-dependent man, a clueless man,
a floater, and someone who does not live reality as it should be. He goes with the flow
and, since he isn't able to control his life, he worries about what will happen to "it".
Like the rest, he waits for Godot endlessly, and for no purpose
whatsoever.
