Could someone explain the meaning of this sentence?

He states that "the fabulae personae whom Beckett selects as representative of today's mankind can only be clochards,creatures excluded from the scheme of the world who have nothing to do any longer, because they do not have anything to do with it.

Could someone explain? It's urgent.

Characters author chose can only be bandits(?) or freaks and do not belong in the world because they are irrelevant to the said world.

Not really. More like vagrants and beggars. Homeless people.

Not exactly. It says "excluded", so I'd say it's a little stronger than just not belonging. They are kept out or kept away from what is going on in the world.

Essentially, the meaning is this: he (whoever "he" is) says that tho
