The names, Vladimir and Estragon, are based on the two main characters from a play called ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_Godot Waiting for Godot]'' by Samuel Beckett. In the play, Vladimir is an intelligent and optimistic character while Estragon is a simplistic character who has a negative outlook on life and humans. Estragon, however, is attached to Vladimir and needs his protection which is why he is seen as more of a child to Vladimir's adult and parent-like character. Since one of Mr. Ratburn's goldfishes is smaller, it can be assumed that he is Estragon, while the larger one is Vladimir. | The names, Vladimir and Estragon, are based on the two main characters from a play called ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_Godot Waiting for Godot]'' by Samuel Beckett.
