Stalker

Why do the Stalker, the Writer, and the Professor never use personal names, instead being identified only by their roles?

It's a curious detail that adds to the film's enigmatic quality. Are they archetypes, or does this lack of individual naming serve to highlight their universal human struggles rather than specific identities?
