Theodor W. Adorno speaks in a TV talk show about the plays of Beckett.
"Everyone says Beckett is a reduction of tecnique to the extreme, I said that myself and it is nothing special about it to say that. But this reduction is what the world makes out of us, to talk with Karl Kraus. This is what the world is doing to us. These human stubs. These humans that lost their "I" - they are the products of the world they live in."
