Abstract

This essay reappropriates a question Deleuze asked of Kant, in order to ask it again of Beckett: ‘The Northern Prince says “time is out of joint”.1 Can it be that the Northern philosopher says the same thing: that he should be Hamletian because he is Oedipal?’ (Deleuze, 1994, p. 88); by the same token, can it be that Beckett’s writing is Deleuzian because it is mock-Oedipal?
