SAMUEL BECKETT AND HAROLD PINTER: THE TWO LYRIC POETS OF MODERN STAGE

Summary/Abstract: Our intention is to cast light on the captivating fusion of seemingly disparate categories such as lyricism and the absurd that are to be found in the works of the two masters of modern stage. The aesthetics of the avant-garde theatre proved destructive to the previous artistic conventions. The only thing that diverges from the prevailing gloom of modern stage, inhabited by the dramatis personae of unstable identity, is the lyric poetry created by unique poetic techniques. The essay offers a comparative survey of figures of speech, both verbal and non-verbal means, so successfully employed by Beckett and Pinter.
