Dans l’œuvre de Samuel Beckett, les personnages féminins qui au début sont quasi absents, prennent de plus en plus d’importance et présentent alors différentes images féminines. L’univers féminin qui apparaît ne cesse de prendre de l’ampleur. Pour aborder le fait féminin, il faut prendre en compte les différents langages esthétiques spécifiques des personnages-femmes. En effet, ces langages - faits de diverses tournures imagées -, mettent en exergue l’identité féminine de ces personnages. Ces langages recouvrent de nombreux domaines : corporel, gestuel, scénique et pictural. Cette recherche permet de mieux comprendre le traitement du féminin dans l’œuvre dramatique de Samuel Beckett et de souligner les aspects majeurs des personnages féminins. / In Samuel Beckett’s works the female characters are seen to be absent at the beginning, but throughout the story their presence becomes more significant, and represents the different images of the female characters.The female characters in his work expand and grow constantly.To understand the female characters, we need to analyze the languages that have been used by each character. The languages provide a different image which highlights the identity of each character. They also cover many areas such as body, gestural, scenic, and pictorial. This research paper helps us to better understand how Samuel Beckett deals with feminine in his works, and highlights the major features of the female characters.

The most frequent - but not the only - way of telling Josef Škvorecký's prose is with the first grammatical person of the singular from the point of view of a male figure, for example that of one of Danny Smiřický. But female characters also play an important role in the story. The aim of this thesis is to study the way in which female figures are shaped in some Škvorecký's prose works. Therefore, we want to study the order in which we learn information about them, what passages are devoted to their characteristics or what other data in the text is associated with them. We rely on the literature on the theory of the character (e. g. Hausenblas and Macurová) and on literature about the author (e. g. Kosková, Trenský, Solecki).
