透过荒诞寻求意义——利用衔接分析《克拉普最后的录音带》

摘要

本论文采用衔接手段来分析萨缪尔·贝克特英文剧作《克拉普最后的录音带》，探究作者贝克特要表达什么主旨，如何表达，以及他为什么要以这种方式进行表达。通过主体部分的衔接分析，该论文旨在发现其剧作的现实重要性，达到形式、内容和主旨的一致性。
　　本文将从剧本中三个不同叙述者的角度出发，对这三部分文本中出现的各种词语衔接功能进行探讨，并通过研究这些功能及其与主题的关联，以及它们在不同叙述者口中起到的或相互照应或前后对比的作用，最终得出三个相关的论点，并将其整合，总结出贝克特的这篇剧作揭露荒谬人生的现实意义。
　　论文结尾通过心理分析理论，阐述了荒诞派戏剧代表人物贝克特看似消极的文风背后所暗藏的现实意义。通过克拉普荒谬人生的总结分析，旨在找到坦然面对人生的途径，虽然每一个短暂的人生终将毫无意义地尘埃落定，享受人生的每一刻美好并活出每一秒的价值，才是值得人们去关注和反思的。
