| Summary: | Lemony Snicket is the author of the series A Series of Unfortunate Events. As of 2004, the series has released its tenth book, The Slippery Slope from a projected thirteen-volume project. The specimen of my study is book nine, The Carnivorous Carnival (2002). My thesis is to study The Carnivorous Carnival in the context of Mikhail Bakhtin's notion of the carnivalesque in Rabelais and His World (1988). I examine Lemony Snicket's novel from the carnivalesque perspective, and find out how he subverts using humor, stylistic language, and the festive images (the carnival). |
