This comparative analysis explores the influence of linguistic elements in the poetry of Samuel Beckett and Oscar Wilde. The study examines how each poet utilizes language to convey themes, emotions, and cultural contexts. Beckett's minimalist and often absurdist approach contrasts with Wilde's rich and ornate style, providing a diverse perspective on the manipulation of linguistic elements. The paper delves into specific examples from their works to highlight differences and similarities in their use of syntax, diction, and rhetorical devices, illuminating their unique contributions to English liter ature.
