The Hat Motif in the Samuel Beckett’s Philosophical Prose (on the Material of the Novels «La Fin», «Premier Amour» and «L’expulsé»)

Authors

Abstract

Yury I. Semenchenko (Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation)

This article regards the semantic realization of the hat motif on the material of the Beckett’s French-language short stories («La fin», «Premier amour» «L’expulsé»). Being diverse, the hat motif is highly related to the other motifs and thus provides the coherence and integration of the author’s literary world. The article also analyses the connection between hat motif and the major themes of Beckett’s writing which synthesizes existentialphilosophical and personal aspects.

Key words: key-note, existentialism, experience, corporality, Beckett.
