In Ferenc Molnár’s oeuvre, the representation of the body, the expression of bodily experiences and the relationship between language and physicality in general are of decisive importance. This is also true of the play The Game in the Castle, since the text expresses the physical in a rather direct way within the period. In its historicity, the cultural register represented by Ferenc Molnár is often surrounded by a kind of strange prudery of posterity, which will probably take some time to dissolve. The relationship between the speech acts and the body, and the effect of the former on the latter, can be observed in various scenes of the play. The complex and dynamic relationship between the spontaneous performative action of the body and the reflected linguistic action will be explored through the analysis of the dialogues of the play.
