 Do you agree that behaviour of lucky  is very irritating and naustic? Even when master pozzo is blind  he obendintely  hands the whip in hand do you think  such a capacity of slavishness  is unbelievable?

Yes, I am agree that behaviour  of lucky is  irritating &naustic very submissive  slave because in the act 1 when the vladimir&estragone both meet him and in that scene Vladimir tries to free the lucky from the pozzo but he is fails to do so. It is an opposite situation than the thought of the audience.As a spector  I thought that luck was very happy  with his freedom but it did not happen. In the first act it can be seen that whatever command Pozzo gave to lucky he followed that command without any objection. If he said think then lucky is starting to think so this is the behaviour of slavishness which can't  believe at all. In the video which is given below is represent the slavishness of lucky.





In the second act it is seen that pozzo became blind and lucky became  mute.it can be called as submissive slavishness of lucky.because as the master of lucky is becoming blind he got a chance to run away from pozzo, but he didn't  to do so.but he help the master to do work that is OK but when the lucky give the whip to his blind  master that come on hit me this can be called a very much slavish behaviour of lucky it can be seen as the submissive slavishness  of lucky.
