dc.description.abstractThe thesis is essentially an investigation of the aesthetic conventions of the mise-enĀ­-scene m Beckett 's theatre. In order to provide a frame of reference, Beckett's theatre is contextualized within the aesthetic conventions of the theatrical avant-garde in the modern period. The origins of avant-garde aesthetic conventions in the theatre of French Symbolism are examined and traced through various movements of the modern period, using drawing on play-texts, manifestos, and theories as well as first hand accounts of witnesses and participants of the events in question.Several important critical accounts of the period and of the avant-garde are also consulted. The conventions of the avantĀ­-garde are examined in the light of Carl Jung's Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious. Jung 's subsequent influence on Beckett' s theatre is also examined
