In this study I will be analysing the way in which the contraries
that Beckett calls habit and spontaneity are used in the fictions he
wrote in English. In his discursive writings Beckett comments on human experience
generally and on the experience of artists particularly in terms of
these contraries. I will show that they can be seen as applicable
to the people who populate Beckett's early fictions, and thus as
illuminating the meaning of those fictions.
