| Summary: | This article claims that Samuel Beckett's 'The Trilogy: Molloy, Malone Dies and The Unnamable' is paradoxically a successful art of failure, impotence and silence. Beckett's ambivalent writing is a literary style that bears the stamp of paradox: order and disorder, sense and meaninglessness. Beckett does not choose between these antitheses but maintains them in constant motion as part of its dialectical structure. The essential factor is the interplay between two contradictory poles. The core nature of the Beckettian ambivalent writing is its interchangeability and intertextuality. |
