In "Waiting for Godot," Pozzo becomes blind due to a sudden physical ailment. Lucky becomes dumb due to the overwhelming nature of his thoughts and the weight of his mental burden. These transformations serve to highlight the theme of deterioration and loss of control in the play.

The concept of "lucky speech" in Waiting for Godot highlights the characters' reliance on chance and luck in a world that seems devoid of meaning. It reflects the existential themes of uncertainty, absurdity, and the search for purpose in a seemingly meaningless existence.
It is about two men, Vladimir and Estragon, who meet near a tree. They discuss various topics and discover they are both waiting there for a man named Godot. While they wait, two other men enter. Pozzo is on his way to the market to sell his slave, Lucky. He pauses for a while to converse with Vladimir and Estragon. Lucky entertains them by dancing and thinking, and Pozzo and Lucky leave. After Pozzo and Lucky leave, a boy enters and tells Vladimir that he is a messenger from Godot. He tells Vladimir that Godot will not be coming tonight, but that he will surely come tomorrow. Vladimir asks him some questions about Godot and the boy departs. After his departure, Vladimir and Estragon decide to leave, but they do not move as the curtain falls. The next night, Vladimir and Estragon again meet near the tree to wait for Godot. Lucky and Pozzo enter again, but this time Pozzo is blind and Lucky is dumb. Pozzo does not remember meeting the two men the night before. They leave and Vladimir and Estragon continue to wait. Shortly after, the boy enters and once again tells Vladimir that Godot will not be coming. He insists that he did not speak to Vladimir yesterday. After he leaves, Estragon and Vladimir decide to leave, but again they do not move as the curtain falls, ending the play. It is a black comedy with philosophical undertones. http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/godot/summary.html

Because it is about relationships: the relationship between the main characters Estragon and Vladimir and the contrasts between their relationship and the dominant-submissive/dependent-supportive relationships of Pozzo and Lucky. It doesn't matter that the context is absurd because the relationships are real and at the same time capable of a symbolic interpretation. (For example, the relationships could be viewed as a metaphor for the relationship between mind and body.)
