AB According to Freud, ‘screen memories’ are those memories from childhood that have been distorted and hide a trauma that the ‘ego’ has not been capable of accepting yet. This B. A. Thesis aims to analyze how the Irish author Samuel Beckett uses screen memories as a literary device in different ways in his narrative works From an Abandoned Work and Company and in his plays Krapp’s Last Tape and That Time. In addition, this dissertation shows that the content from those screen memories was often based on Beckett’s own life experiences regarding the relationship with his parents and their deaths, his unappreciated sensitivity and his fear of parenthood.
