Narrator in Decay

Original language description

The paper focuses on the tension between the picture of the world as a universal mess and the standard sentence form, as it comes out in Beckett’s prosaic work. As the author attempts to show, it generates a variety of narrative collapses, which allow the reader to experience (through the failures of her attempts at continuous reading) various sides of the chaotic nature of the world she lives in: they include cummulation of contradictions, permanent revocations, revisions of the meanings of the words uttered etc. The insolvable problem of the narrator’s identity destroys the referential function of the first person pronoun as well as the literary function of the Ich-form.
