Whereas Vladimir and Estragon have each other to share the 'waiting' Linus is alone...after Sally leaves him it becomes clear that there is no 'treat' and this has all been a 'trick' - one could cogently argue that 'The Great Pumpkin' is (in actuality) a manifestation of the Buddhist concept of illusions about the true nature of existence. Linus adamantly adheres to his delusive inclinations; thus illusions innumerable as particles of sand on a beach prevent Linus from understanding that The Great Pumpkin was always within.
