We could call the two tramps the protagonists in the play. However, they represent the whole of society/ mankind. "They correlate actions of the other characters to the general concerns of mankind".
Antagonist:
Pozzo is a rich man. He at all times tries to have all the attention for himself. His servant, Lucky, must bare heaps abuses on him. Pozzo represents the boss/ master/ruler. That is why one could say that he is the antagonist. "At time, God or Fate, or whatever master of universe exists, migh also be an antagonist, bearing down on the two tramps and mankind their lives enbearable.
Just because I have actually included all the characters in the play already, I believe that the protagonist and antagonist do and actually must play off each other. Firstly there are no other characters left and secondly the protagonist reacts to things done and said by the antagonist and vice versa. Thus I do believe that they play of each other.
