The two characters in the play 'Waiting for Godot' are DIDI and Estragon. DIDI is a short, balding man who is often seen wearing a bowler hat. He is an intellectual and is often seen as the leader of the two. Estragon is a tall, scruffy man who is often seen wearing a tattered old hat. He is more of a dreamer and is often seen as the follower of the two. Both characters are waiting for the mysterious Godot to arrive, but they never seem to get any closer to finding him.
