دانلود کتاب Literary Techniques’ Power in Treating Life’s Absurdity, Regarding Samuel Beckett’s Trilogy

Literature is a machine working to express ideas, thoughts, theories, and
feelings. The products of the machine, the literary genres, are of different shapes
and lengths. The tools of the machine are literary techniques without which literature
may not make any sense. Such a perspective necessitated this research to investigate
the power of literary techniques in implying a certain point of view i.e., ‘Absurdity
of life’. The ironical and satirical constructs explicating this theme in Samuel
Beckett’s trilogy, which aims at the implication of a certain concept of life after
WWII, are the foci of this thesis. The researcher, furthermore, has tried to connect
the dots between the work itself and the general concept of minimalism, alongside
the notion of ‘Anti-novel’. This thesis uses the theory of Formalism as an opposition
to Romanticism and Marxism. Formalism mainly reads the text closely; to manifest
the contradictory meanings of this text. It simply means to discover the beyond-existence origins. This thesis attempts at depicting the power of literary techniques
used in Beckett’s trilogy as a descriptive analysis approach. A close reading of the
text is done explicate the symbolic manifestations of absurdity. As the main finding
of this study which draws on analyzing the satirical and ironical tone of the work,
Beckett is not in opposition of life and its creator but abhors the systems which
inflicted this absurdity upon life and made it meaningless and threadbare.
