Beckett and Deleuze, tragic thinkers

Ruben Borg

pp. 193-206

Abstract

This essay reappropriates a question Deleuze asked of Kant, in order to ask it again of Beckett: "The Northern Prince says "time is out of joint".1 Can it be that the Northern philosopher says the same thing: that he should be Hamletian because he is Oedipal?" (Deleuze, 1994, p. 88); by the same token, can it be that Beckett's writing is Deleuzian because it is mock-Oedipal?
