Abstract
It is the intention of this paper to examine Molloy as it documents
the illusionary search for a Self outside of time and language, and as
it constitutes the culmination of Existential thought as demonstrated in
the early works of Sartre and Camus. By placing the novel within a
mythological framework, an attempt will be made to penetrate past the
apparent incoherence and deceptive use of language which serve to define
the Beckettian motif, to a clearer understanding of the "realisme"
toward which the entire Trilogy moves.
