 Pozzo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Because he has such a poor grasp on reality and memory, Pozzo cannot remember ever having met Vladimir and Estragon before (which Vladimir says they have), and thus fails to recognize them as the people he was going to see.
This theory perhaps corroborates the interpretation of the play that holds that the tramps are in wait of a kind of "false God" who is in fact a simpleton himself.
If Pozzo were Godot, his servant would recognize him, or at least come to remind him of what he was supposed to be doing (the boy watches the scene between Pozzo and the tramps at a distance and would have had every opportunity to do so).
