| dc.description.abstract | This piece of research is concerned with the comparison of two famous English playwrights’ works: William Shakespeare’s Hamlet (1602) and Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1966). To explore the intertextual dialogic relation between the two plays, I borrowed Mikhail Bakhtin’s thoughts; namely, the concepts of Heteroglossia as developed in his Discourse in the Novel (1973) and Carnivalesque developed in the book Rabelais and his World published in (1965). My dissertation fell into two chapters. In the first chapter, I have looked at how Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1966) is a possible response to Shakespeare’s Hamlet (1602). In doing so, I have focused on the language used by Stoppard in his play and the way he echoes the Shakespearean lines. The second chapter is devoted to analyzing carnivalesque forms in both plays and how Stoppard uses parody as both a way of debunking Shakespeare’s seriousness and a tactic to depict the modern man’s view of the universe.It has been demonstrated that in spite of the fact that several centuries separate the two plays, Stoppard’s intention is to reply to Shakespeare’s Hamlet (1602) in terms of language and characterization, through his absurdist tragic comedy Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1966). | en |
