Endless Pursuit Realitythrough Metadramatic Devices In Tom Stoppard' / s Plays Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead, The Real Inspector Hound, And TravestiesYedekci, Esra 01 January 2011 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis aims to investigate the question of reality in Tom Stoppard&rsquo / s plays
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, The Real Inspector Hound, and Travesties.
Each of these plays closely examines the nature of reality and certainty and shows
Stoppard as the critique of grand narratives of Reality, Truth, and Art. By deconstructing
these master narratives, Stoppard attempts to invalidate the convictions that reality is
fixed and that art should faithfully reproduce the material world in which reality is
perceived as permanent. His challenge creates a realization in the audience and makes
them question the issues they previously took for granted. To divest the audience of
certainty and to display the endless pursuit of reality both in life and in art, Stoppard, in
his plays, makes use of some metadramatic devices. Stoppard&rsquo / s distinctive use of the
metadramatic devices which reveal the unaccountable nature of reality and the limits of
knowledge is the core of this study
