Malone Dies., Samuel Beckett, Carnavalesco, Grotesco, IdentidadResumen
En ausencia de Dios y del lenguaje como autoridades últimas, ¿qué opciones le quedan al ser humano? Esta es, probablemente, la pregunta más profunda que plantea Samuel Beckett en su llamada Trilogía, considerada a menudo como su microcosmos, siendo Malone Dies (1951), el centro de dicha obra no dramática. El presente trabajo se centra en la segunda parte de la Trilogía de Beckett, Malone Dies, desde una perspectiva carnavalesca-grotesca para tratar temas como el devenir y la identidad, la degradación y el lenguaje. En el mundo carnavalesco de esta novela, la identidad fluida de los personajes transgrede los límites que separan lo individual de lo comunitario en el proceso del devenir. Beckett retrata un cuerpo y un lenguaje que fallan, que desafían y degradan la autoridad de Dios y del lenguaje para ofrecernos nuevas posibilidades más allá de los defectos de un sistema enfermo.
