Personally of course I regret everything.
Meaning
In Watt, the narrator offers a sweeping, darkly comic confession of regret before a long list of things he regrets. Beckett treats failure and regret with dry humor instead of shame. Try writing your own regrets down, then circle one lesson from each so they become instructions rather than weight.
