Description
Beckett and Sade explores the complex relationship between Samuel Beckett and the Marquis de Sade. This Element provides a systematic examination of their connection, tracing its development over time. Beckett's early work shows an interest in Sade, influenced by Proust and other writers. His notes on sadism, taken from Mario Praz's book La Carne, La morte e il Diavolo Nella Letteratura Romantica, demonstrate the significance of this theme in his writing. The Element also considers Dante's meditation on justice, which offers a perspective on Beckett's fascination with the presence of sadism in human nature. By examining their relationship through a chronological lens, this Element sheds new light on the intersections between literature and philosophy in Beckett's work.
