초록

Through the self-reflexive strategy, meta-drama shows that dramatic reality on the stage is just artificial reality. The dramatic attitude in types of play-within-the play can be a important clues on reading the characters' awareness of a reality, self image, and their thoughts about dramatic theme and form. In this respect, William Shakespeare and Samuel Beckett have something in common of all times. Both of all conveys an effective message of drama using properly the self-reflexive strategy. And also Shakespeare and Beckett show consistently both “theatrum mundi” and “theater as ludus” as a principal reflexive elements in their plays. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate meta-drama strategy in the plays of Shakespeare and Beckett. In the works of Shakespeare, which are using play-within-the play as theatrical devices, dramatic elements of self-reflexivity are well embodied. The dramatic world of Beckett is likewise. The self-reflexivity is very significant in that it is a challenge to representation, the most important dramatic principle firmly held since Aristotle. In this sense, his plays, in their exploration of drama itself or the dramatic genre, take on metadramatic qualities.

Abstract

Through the self-reflexive strategy, meta-drama shows that dramatic reality on the stage is just artificial reality. The dramatic attitude in types of play-within-the play can be a important clues on reading the characters' awareness of a reality, self image, and their thoughts about dramatic theme and form. In this respect, William Shakespeare and Samuel Beckett have something in common of all times. Both of all conveys an effective message of drama using properly the self-reflexive strategy. And also Shakespeare and Beckett show consistently both “theatrum mundi” and “theater as ludus” as a principal reflexive elements in their plays. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate meta-drama strategy in the plays of Shakespeare and Beckett. In the works of Shakespeare, which are using play-within-the play as theatrical devices, dramatic elements of self-reflexivity are well embodied. The dramatic world of Beckett is likewise. The self-reflexivity is very significant in that it is a challenge to representation, the most important dramatic principle firmly held since Aristotle. In this sense, his plays, in their exploration of drama itself or the dramatic genre, take on metadramatic qualities.
