Analyzing Narrative Actants in the Selected Postmodern Absurd Works Compared with Greimas Model

This study wishes to show narrative analysis in the selected literary works "Endgame", "Waiting for Godot", "The room", "The Blind Owl" and "The Cold Air" from the view point of Absurdity and tries to fulfill the objectives benefitng from analyzing actants compared with Greimas model. Narrotology is a feild of study that is undergoing a recontextualization and renaissance. This paper reconsiders narrative actants presented by Greimas(1966) and focuses on the concept of six new arrative actants proposed by the researchers for analyzing the narrative of the selected absurd works compared with Greimas model. Structuralist theories owed to Vladimir Propp's actantial typology, which included the villain, the donor, the helper, the sought-for-person and her father, the dispatcher, the hero, and the false hero. But absurdist theories of the self may also have inflected the way structuralist narratologists drew on linguistic theory to redescribe characteres in stories as actants.The rersearchers propose six new narrative actants that can be found in absurd works. Sufferer(antihero) for hero, recluse for the receiver, repetition for the helper, failure for the object, partner for opponent. There is the absence of donor in the absurd works. Instead, oppresive can be considered an actant in these literary works. Further, a more linguistically particularized account of actants may have significant methodological consequence for present-day analyst interested in using models to study narrative in absurd works.
