… The Millions : A New Lease on Apathy: On Samuel Beckett’s Echo’s Bones. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)
Far from being apathetic, Beckett seems to have been passionately taken with death from the start, as soon as the impact of it hit him, which seems to have been at a very early age. He seems to have taken it as his route into life. After all, in the long run you can only deal with life, the experience of death being purely hypothetical until you die.

One must simply wait for it (death) . . . and while waiting, pass the time however one wishes (although it is difficult to choose the model: Vladimir? Estragon? Lucky? Pozzo? The Boy?)
