In L'Elaboration du mythe du soi Solveig Hudhomme highlights how Samuel Beckettâs works build a myth of their own, the myth of a space, a permanent inner space going beyond the textual boundaries. This inner place, "the self" as we can call it, is a place liberated from biography, from the « ego » but also a place in which some invariants can be found. This study focuses on the way stories introduce a principle of repetition so that the reader can recognize a place, a narrative, a character. As the story develops, contingency slowly grows into necessity.
