The child is not only the center of expectations or the narcissistic support of his parents, a “revenant” who allows them to reach for immortality. For the major playwrights, the child is also the one who discloses fate (Shakespeare’s Macbeth), the messenger of a missed encounter (Beckett’s Waiting for Godot), or the foreclosed signifier of life (Beckett’s Endgame). In brute reality, he can also be the victim of a murder, overlooked by the whole of society. We devote our paper to these fictitious and yet very real functions of the child, functions that are too often overlooked by psychoanalysis.
