Abstract

In this paper, we seek to understand the interrelationship between literature and music through Duras' works. First, we selected Nathalie Granger and Moderato cantabile as representative works in which music was explicitly presented. Nathalie Granger is a work that was produced as a movie and then introduced in the form of a screenplay. This work has a nouveau-roman tendency to express the aesthetic correlation between literature and music through cinematic writing within the historical background of the development of mass media. Moderato cantabile is a work that presents a musical background in the title itself. Here, music demonstrates not only the internal changes of the characters but also the technique of imprinting the structure and rhythm of the entire work. In conclusion, through the analysis of these two works, we confirm the close osmosis between literature expressed in language and music, a non-verbal form of expression.
