    Le silence de la personne présente dans le théâtre français du XXe siècle
    (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, Wydawnictwo Werset, 2012) Modrzejewska, Krystyna
    The consideration of the silence of a present person in some French 20th century drama reveals the power and the cruelty of human silence. The play by Anouilh displays the destiny of a woman who is convicted to be a voiceless witness, whereas the one by Beckett shows the silence of a husband begged by his companion to confirm her presence. In the play by Lagarce, the agony of an ungrateful son unleashes a torrent of complaints pronounced by a women belonging to his family. Finally, both of the analysed plays by Sarraute show the consequences of silence in relations between friends.
