초록

This paper proposes to illuminate Beckett's polyphonic musicality as multi-layered meaning structure. The concept of polyphony literally means multiple voices. In the musical context alone, the meaning of absurdity originally means ‘uncoordinated.’ The concept of music seeking harmony seems closer to contradictory meanings than to mutually matched terms. The two concepts of conflicting meanings, ‘harmony’ and ‘absurdity’, can rather imply to some extent the connection between Beckett's works and music. This is because Beckett's plays show a tendency to lack plots more than any other absurd plays and present the artist's insight into human conditions in a fairly polyphonic way instead of a straight forward development method. In other words, the characters' lines seem to be meaningless excretion, but overall, they gradually convey the theme and meaning while stimulating the audience's emotions through structural devices such as repetition and symmetry. This method is similar to polyphonic music using counterpoint.

Abstract

This paper proposes to illuminate Beckett's polyphonic musicality as multi-layered meaning structure. The concept of polyphony literally means multiple voices. In the musical context alone, the meaning of absurdity originally means ‘uncoordinated.’ The concept of music seeking harmony seems closer to contradictory meanings than to mutually matched terms. The two concepts of conflicting meanings, ‘harmony’ and ‘absurdity’, can rather imply to some extent the connection between Beckett's works and music. This is because Beckett's plays show a tendency to lack plots more than any other absurd plays and present the artist's insight into human conditions in a fairly polyphonic way instead of a straight forward development method. In other words, the characters' lines seem to be meaningless excretion, but overall, they gradually convey the theme and meaning while stimulating the audience's emotions through structural devices such as repetition and symmetry. This method is similar to polyphonic music using counterpoint.
