A little darkness, in itself, at the time, is nothing. You think no more about it and you go on. But I know what darkness is, it accumulates, thickens, then suddenly bursts and drowns everything.

In "Malone Dies," Samuel Beckett explores the concept of darkness not just as a mere absence of light, but as a metaphor for emotional and psychological struggles. Initially, a little darkness may seem inconsequential, easily ignored as one continues with their life. However, this darkness has a tendency to build up over time, becoming more oppressive and difficult to manage.

Beckett emphasizes that this accumulation can eventually reach a breaking point, where it overwhelms and consumes everything in its path. The passage illustrates how suppressed emotions and ignored issues can lead to an inevitable, destructive outpouring, highlighting the importance of acknowledging and addressing one's inner turmoil before it spirals out of control.
