Sample text
Ian gives a cryptic answer, and then ambiguously contradicts Mac Clure; is his terse “Si” (the French contradictory yes) in response to Mac Clure’s statement that he was not accompanied, or that he was not expected so early? This conversation continues with a weak attempt by Ian to cover his awkwardness by telling Mac Clure that he thinks he has seen him somewhere before. This first scene of miscommunication establishes the difficulties that Ian and Mac Clure will have during the rest of the play.
Genette divides paratext into two general categories, péritexte and épitexte, which depend on the relation of the paratext to the rest of text. Peritext, as its name implies, can be found “autour du texte, dans l’espace du même volume, comme le titre ou la préface, et parfois inséré dans les interstices du texte, comme les titres de chapitres ou certaines notes” (Seuils 10). Peritext cannot exist without the original text, since a title or preface that is not attached to any work, for example, has no meaning.
MAC CLURE : Lâchez-moi! Si vous voulez vous battre, nous irons dehors, mais vous êtes fou de me chercher querelle. Je ne vous veux aucun mal. IAN : Je ne te cherche pas querelle, imbécile! Je veux ta mort. (OC III 1074) In one way, Ian is speaking metaphorically: “l’interdit, le cercle d’horreur” could be interpreted by Mac Clure as unbridled emotion, corruption, or some other abstract threat to his purity. This time, however, Ian touches Mac Clure and uses the more intimate tu form of address, unlike before when he merely made allusions and used the more formal vous.
