This paper aims to analyze the relationship between dialogues and monologues in Samuel Beckett’s two novels, Molloy and The Unnamable. Focusing on the problems of language, Beckett reveals the failure of communication through mechanical dialogues, and shows the illusion of inner monologue. For Beckett, traditional novel writing, which constitutes the entire linguistic order, is an object of destruction. Thus, through subversive Beckettian novel writing, the limits of human conversation and monologue are revealed, and through speaking like a schizophrenic, Beckett breaks those limits and opens up new possibilities. In other words, language in the schizophrenic disruption cannot function as a tool for transmitting information, but a way for telling about ontological existences.
