Abstract
Al Basuony, Gihan Samy. Jacobean Modernism and New Jacobean Postmodernism: A Study of the Ethical Basis in the Drama of John Marston, Joe Orton and Sarah Kane. An M.A. Thesis (drama), faculty of Arts. Mansoura University, 2011.
The thesis supposes that Kane’s drama is a postmodern form of Jacobean drama as it is affected by Jacobean drama and Angry Young Men who has the epithet ’New Jacobean’ drama. The thesis is an attempt to investigate the ethical basis in the drama of Marston, Orton and Kane, depending on tracing characters in their behaviours, their relations with others and their attitudes towards the political, social and moral issues.
The thesis concludes that the works of the three playwrights challenge readers and audiences to explore this drama to discover deeper standards of understanding. The playwrights give a literary response to man and the world around their works which are preoccupied with man’s dilemmas. They describe the man who lives and dies, who loves and hates and suffers etc. Their drama illuminates the sea of troubles, fears, circles of despair and confusion where in man is indulged. They express about characters who are victims to many factors which impose upon them a certain life, among these alienation which forces them to be who they are not. So, their inner slogan is ’to be or not to be’ or it turns them to be beasts as Dostovesky says: ’’If man loses hope and has no aim in view, sheer boredom can turn him into a beast’’ (Lodge 487). The thesis also clarifies the relation between ethics, morality and nihilism.
