Add YoursI don't think the boy wants them to follow him. He is only there to give a message to the two tramps that they must wait longer for Godot.
This is a good question and when i think about it what i find is they both are dumb, idiot, and lazy fellow. They don't even have the power of thinking. This play is so mysterious that it opens the door for your imagination and explanation. What if the messenger boy is just their hallucination and may be because of the impect of world war they are in some kinds of psychological truma or disorder that they could not get over.
Vladimir and Estragon will be followers of the boy. because of them, they are waiting for Godot. The boy massager asked 2 times, Godot will be not coming, He said tomower. Boy did not follow them all the play
