Abstract

Description

This thesis explores and compares two literary works from the perspective of space and power in their English semantic definitions of physical space and its consequences for relationships of power including authority. This essay will re-evaluate two texts: a play, No Exit by Jean Paul Sartre and a novella, Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcia Márquez. Although they seem very different in structure, genre and medium, this thesis will show that they share a message on the concept of death as a continual moment: a cultural perspective that is influenced by each text’s portrayal of the relationship between space and power.
