Sense
“Yet I don’t work for money. For what then? I don’t know.” I found myself relating to this quote a lot since I also don’t understand (and try not to understand) this continual struggle for money. By saying, “I don’t know,” I think Beckett is conveying his lack of concern for money. I feel that way as well. When I create, I don’t necessarily care about how much money it’ll make me or how much money it takes to make it. This apathy and resignation towards everything is something I struggle with from time to time.
Nonsense
“I mean without hedges or ditches or any kind of edge, in the country, for cows were chewing in enormous fields, lying and standing, in the evening silence. Perhaps I’m inventing a little, perhaps embellishing, but on the whole that’s the way it was. They chew, swallow, then after a short pause effortlessly bring up the next mouthful.” – I thought this part was pretty confusing since it was capriciously inserted into the text. I had no idea what the process of cows eating had to do with the previous sentence about A and C? Why did it all of a sudden go on to him writing about two men? I had many questions that were left unanswered.
