It recounts a stripped-down continuation of routines—money, shoes, coat, and clothing—where each replacement supports the narrator’s ability to keep going. The narrative moves through exchanges and bodily dressing, describing wear, fit, and exhaustion, while hinting that the “end” is approaching. The style emphasizes repetition, grim practicality, and gradual tightening toward finality.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/","Literature",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-end-translated-by-samuel-beckett-and-richard-seaver/325469/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-end-translated-by-samuel-beckett-and-richard-seaver/325469.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Aria","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-31","2026-09-21",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",15,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"Who

knew what themoney was for,it was to get me started.When it wasgone I would have to get more,if I wanted to goon.Thesame for the shoes,when they were worn out I wouldhave to get them mended,or get myself another pair,orgoon barefoot,if I wanted to go on.The same for the coatand trousers,needless to say,with this difference,thatI could go on in my shirtsleeves,if I wanted.The clothes-shoes,socks,trousers,shirt,coat,hat-were not new,butthe deceased must have been about my size.That is tosay,he must have been a little shorter,a little thinner,forthe clothes did not fit me so well in the beginning as theydid at the end,the shirt especially,and it was many a longday before I could button it at the neck,or profit by thecollar that went with it,or pin the tails together betweenmy legs in the way my mother had taught me.He musthave put on his Sunday best to go to the consultation,perhaps for the first time,unable to bear it any longer.Be that as it may the hat was a bowler,in good shape.  \nSamuel Beckett  \nI said,Keep your hat and give me back mine.I added,Give me back my greatcoat.They replied that they hadburnt them,together with my other clothes.I under-stood then that the end was near,at least fairly near.Later on I tried to exchange this hat for a cap,or a slouchwhich could be pulled down over my face,but withoutmuch success.And yet I could not go about bare-headed,with my skull in the state it was.At first this hat was toosmall,then it got used to me.They gave me a tie,afterlong discussion.It seemed a pretty tie to me,but I didn'tlike it.When it came at last I was too tired to send itback.But in the end it came in useful.It was blue,withkinds of little stars.I didn't feel well,but they told meI was well enough.They didn’t say in so many words thatI was as well as I would ever be,but that was the impli-cation.I lay inert on the bed and it took three women toput on my trousers.They didn’t seem to take muchinterest in my private parts which to tell the truth werenothing to write home about,I didn't take much interestin them myself.But they might have passed someremark.When they had finished I got up and finisheddressing unaided.They told me to sit on the bed andwait.All the bedding had disappeared.It made me angrythat they had not let me wait in the familiar bed,insteadof leaving me standing in the cold,in these
