The Study of Archetypal Patterns-Quest,Return to Paradize and Rebirth - of Jungian Theories in Beckett’s Fiction Trilogy:Molloy, Malone Dies and The Unnamble

The present paper is a detailed study of Molloy, Malone Dies, and The Unnamable based on the Jungian psychology. In this study, Jung’s major theories of archetypal patterns and its associated concepts are employed. The traces of leading archetypes are the hero’s Quest, Return to paradise and Rebirth. The Quest which consists of Shadow, Anima and the wise old man, the Return to paradise, which refer to mother womb that the hero tries to Rebirth. This paper proposes that how these archetypes influence on characters’ conscious behavior and show the source of all tensions refers to the internal world then represented in the external world, and the only solution for settling these tensions is making balance between different archetypes.
