Monstrous Alphabet in J. M. Coetzee’s Foe

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This article explores the concept of the ""monstrous alphabet"" in J. M. Coetzee's Foe, a reimagining of Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. Through a close reading of Coetzee's text, the study examines how language, identity, and power dynamics are intertwined within the narrative. The ""monstrous alphabet"" is understood not only as a symbolic representation of fragmented communication but also as a reflection of the complexities of colonialism, cultural displacement, and the dehumanizing effects of imperialism. By analyzing the relationships between characters—particularly the portrayal of Friday and his voicelessness—the article highlights Coetzee's critique of the limitations of language in representing the ""Other"" and the tensions between silence and speech. The paper argues that Coetzee uses the metaphor of the monstrous alphabet to expose the gaps in colonial narratives, suggesting that language itself can be both a tool of oppression and a site of resistance. Ultimately, Foe becomes a space where the ""monstrous"" is both a linguistic and cultural construct, challenging the boundaries of storytelling and the representation of subaltern voices.
