内容記述 | There is a common, literal essence between Kafka and Beckett. Although they lived in different ages, the creativity found in their novels is based in absurdity and a peculiar form of imagination. Kafka, a German-Jew, lived in Prague which at that time was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and wrote his works in German. Beckett, an Irishman living in Paris, wrote his works in French, later translating them into English. As a member of the German-Jewish minority in Prague, Kafka was in a complicated position among the Czech majority. Beckett on the other hand was a spontaneous exile in Europe, separated from his literary and religious bearings. Absurdity in the works of Kafka, as Albert Camus suggested, consists of tragedy in everyday life and the absurd logic found in the social system. That of Beckett revolves around the comedy of everyday life and the absurd destruction of description by meaningless words or language. Kafka depicted the inconsistency latent in humans. Beckett tried to express the impossibility of expression through language. Both forms of absurdity are derived from profound insights into the 20th century’s society. Cynical negativism is the common literary idea for the two authors and is perfectly reflected in their works. Negative and indeed cruel cynicism as well as comical factors are an inevitable necessity for their literary works as a part of general literature in the 20th century, because there seemed to be no longer credible humanism in public consciousness in the post-war era. Absurdity in modern literature paradoxically reflects merciless modern society and human cruelty in cynical tragedy and comedy. The purpose of this essay is to re-recognize both authors’ peculiar and common literary ideas of absurdity and cynicism, to also explore their differences and to examine their implication for describing humanism in the 20th literature |
