تمثلات العنف في رواية العرس الوحشي للروائي يان كيفلك

الملخص

The current study aims to highlight representations of violence in the novel "The Savage Wedding" (1985) by Yann Queffélec. The significance of this study lies in attempting to show the theme of violence as a structural component of the narrative text. The study adopts an analytical framework designed to examine the artistic structure based on what the researcher calls the "founding scene of violence" specifically in the novel's introduction, without neglecting the semantic aspect and linking it to the sequence of chapters according to subheadings. The study discussed representations of the theme in detail, the most important of which is the title and its relationship to the founding scene and the relationship between the mother and her son. The study arrived at a logical nature of the events that were presented according to a coherent plot, which led us to believe that violence characterized the entire novel: it began with a rape scene and ended with a horrific death, based on the title and the overall dialogue, which is also characterized by violence. This demonstrates a strict artistic structure.
