43 Under the ‘velame de li versi strani’ (the veil of the strange verses) (Inf. IX, 63), De Sanctis wanted to find a concrete, ulti mate truth. In my analysis, instead, I would like to argue that each Beckett text produces a different ‘Dante’, which has various functions in the text, thus creat ing different ‘Becketts’. I will also explore how Dante is fashioned as an author ity, in its turn shaping Beckett’s authority. In other words, I would like to take into account the instability not only of Beckett’s works but also of Dante’s, trying to avoid attributing a predetermined meaning to them.
