Molloy

Style and Technique

«Molloy» represents a significant achievement in modernism, showcasing the author's play with form and structure, characteristic of Beckett. The book is characterized by minimalism, cryptic language, and an exploration of themes of impotence and alienation. The text is rich with internal monologues and philosophical reflections on being and non-being, adding depth and a variety of interpretations. Beckett's linguistic economy allows for a substantial amount of content to be expressed through a relatively small volume of text, making the novel complex to comprehend without a deep analytical approach. The structure of the novel is divided into two parts, each dedicated to the life and reflections of one of the characters, Molloy and Moran, who at first seem different, but gradually their stories intertwine, giving the novel a unique multifacetedness and depth. The text is filled with paradoxes and absurd humor, posing questions about the meaning of life and the essence of being.
