Beckett’s subjective interior monologue becomes universal rather than individualist

Evidence

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, 2256
