Resumen

El objetivo principal de esta investigación es analizar la imagen poética de la ventana abierta hacia la noche, así como el escenario espectral de habitación en la obra teatral de Samuel Beckett A Piece of Monologue, utilizando el enfoque binario de Poética del Espacio de Gastón Bachelard y la biografía de Beckett. La ventana ausente en el escenario, que es parte del mundo imaginario del Orador, se convierte en el nexo de esta obra corta y se analiza con respecto a su locus, los recuerdos del escritor y la imaginación material. Aunque íntimamente ligado con la vida del Beckett, el hogar de su infancia y el origen de su nacimiento, esta imagen se convierte en una estructura multidimensional que recobra su vida en esta obra y representa temas universales como el nacimiento, la muerte, la pérdida de seres queridos y el luto.
