Beckett’s fragmented interior monologue speaks with archetypal, not private, force.

Evidence

Our initial description of Beckett’s interior monologueno longer restricted by any objective correlationas being purely lyrical and subjective, requires qualification. This subjective voice, with its searching and probing towards a distant and perhaps non-existent goal, is so elementary that it becomes utterly generalized: it is the voice of human desolation as such. Interior monologue in the contemporary French novel is not returning to individualism; it is going deeper, acquiring general validity and an archetypal quality. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 558
