Week 17: Beckett: "Malacoda"/ "Dante and the Lobster" - brief notes

Malacoda: Dante through the 8th circle of Hell, a bad coda to a good life (funeral of Beckett's father, and all the bad things happening)

[The phrase for 'Ulysses' - stay, stay]

"Dante and the Lobster" - "have sense ... they must be."

["It is not."] cf ["No."] - definitive answers to what's happening.

An exercise in absurdity.

Italian: pieta (piety or pity? how to translate this?) - or both. (cf statue of Mary mourning for Jesus) - a more complex emotion, perhaps?

Also: a funny Beckett link.
