초록
William Golding’s Pincher Martin, published in 1956, is a story in which a protagonist struggles to survive on an isolated island. The fragmented narrative based on the protagonist’s consciousness, implies that the presence on the island is associated with his forgotten past. The space mingled with memories and fantasy, plays a critical role in mystifying the protagonist’s identity, Christopher Martin, and the border between life and death. Under Martin’s thinking and reminding, time is expanded and distorted from the line of order to his way of association. This paper focuses on the temporality in Pincher Martin with Samuel Beckett’s short story “Dante and Lobster” as intertextual text. The two novels show the style of ‘Nouveau Roman’ which appeared in the 1950s in France, represented as the denying of the traditional plot that follows a time sequence as well as the absence of specific information. The theme of waiting in Beckett’s writings offers evidence to approach the temporality of Martin’s world that is involved with his waiting in aeon. Temporality against physical law discloses that Martin has never escaped from the deep sea after the sinking of his warship and that his island was the imaginative world created by his thinking and senses to remind him of what he had done and of his friend, Nathaniel. By examining the intertextuality of the two authors’ works, this paper argues that Martin’s island and latent death imply a purgatory capable of reflecting his life before reaching the negation of heaven.
Abstract
William Golding’s Pincher Martin, published in 1956, is a story in which a protagonist struggles to survive on an isolated island. The fragmented narrative based on the protagonist’s consciousness, implies that the presence on the island is associated with his forgotten past. The space mingled with memories and fantasy, plays a critical role in mystifying the protagonist’s identity, Christopher Martin, and the border between life and death. Under Martin’s thinking and reminding, time is expanded and distorted from the line of order to his way of association. This paper focuses on the temporality in Pincher Martin with Samuel Beckett’s short story “Dante and Lobster” as intertextual text. The two novels show the style of ‘Nouveau Roman’ which appeared in the 1950s in France, represented as the denying of the traditional plot that follows a time sequence as well as the absence of specific information. The theme of waiting in Beckett’s writings offers evidence to approach the temporality of Martin’s world that is involved with his waiting in aeon. Temporality against physical law discloses that Martin has never escaped from the deep sea after the sinking of his warship and that his island was the imaginative world created by his thinking and senses to remind him of what he had done and of his friend, Nathaniel. By examining the intertextuality of the two authors’ works, this paper argues that Martin’s island and latent death imply a purgatory capable of reflecting his life before reaching the negation of heaven.
