Mercier and Camier

Beckett's style is often abstract and minimalistic, but I'm curious what motivated the decision to structure this novel in such a disjointed way. Did it aim to mirror the characters' internal states or reflect a broader philosophical idea?

The book's tone is so bleak and introspective that I wondered if Beckett was intentionally evoking feelings of alienation or if it was just a reflection of the characters' hopelessness.

The sparse language and recurring themes seem to serve a deeper purpose, but I'm curious what others think those motifs symbolize in the context of the story.
