  • The Dramatic World Harol I Pinter
    THE DRAMATIC WORLD HAROL I PINTER RITUAL Katherine H. Bnrkman $8.00 THE DRAMATIC WORLD OF HAROLD PINTER By Katherine H. Burkman The drama of Harold Pinter evolves in an atmosphere of mystery in which the surfaces of life are realistically detailed but the pat­ terns that underlie them remain obscure. De­ spite the vivid naturalism of his dialogue, his characters often behave more like figures in a dream than like persons with whom one can easily identify. Pinter has on one occasion admitted that, if pressed, he would define his art as realistic but would not describe what he does as realism. Here he points to what his audience has often sensed is distinctive in his style: its mixture of the real and sur­ real, its exact portrayal of life on the surface, and its powerful evocation of that life that lies beneath the surface. Mrs. Burkman rejects the contention of some Pinter critics that the playwright seeks to mystify and puzzle his audience. To the contrary, she argues, he is exploring experi­ ence at levels that are mysterious, and is a poetic rather than a problem-solving play­ wright. The poetic images of the play, more­ over, Mrs. Burkman contends, are based in ritual; and just as the ancient Greeks at­ tempted to understand the mysteries of life by drawing upon the most primitive of reli­ gious rites, so Pinter employs ritual in his drama for his own tragicomic purposes. Mrs. Burkman explores two distinct kinds of ritual that Pinter develops in counter­ point. His plays abound in those daily habit­ ual activities that have become formalized as ritual and have tended to become empty of meaning, but these automatic activities are set in contrast with sacrificial rites that are loaded with meaning, and force the charac­ ters to a painful awareness of life from which their daily routines have served to protect them.

  • The Power of Repetition
    The Power of Repetition An Analysis of Repetition Patterns in The Hothouse and The Caretaker by Harold Pinter Mari Anne Kyllesdal A Thesis Presented to The Department of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages The University of Oslo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the MA Degree Spring Term 2012 II The Power of Repetition An Analysis of Repetition Patterns in The Hothouse and The Caretaker by Harold Pinter Mari Anne Kyllesdal III © Mari Anne Kyllesdal 2012 The Power of Repetition: An Analysis of Repetition Patterns in The Hothouse and The Caretaker by Harold Pinter. Mari Anne Kyllesdal http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV Abstract In most of Harold Pinter’s plays, underlying relations between characters are a central feature. Through the slight alteration and further development of naturalistic dialogue, and exploiting the features of The Theatre of the Absurd, Pinter perfected his project of turning dramatic dialogue into the equivalent of authentic language, and created for himself a mode of speech where the explicit text can ‘hint at’ an implicit subtext. One central feature of Pinter’s dramatic language is the use of repetition as a way of communicating psychological action within his characters. This thesis explores how Pinter uses repetition patterns in his dramatic dialogues in the two plays The Hothouse and The Caretaker. Attempting to reveal what is concealed underneath the surface of language, the thesis also discusses the concept of power- play which is exhibited within the examples chosen. Disclosing an inadequacy in using language is often felt by Pinter’s characters as a mark of inferiority, and repetition may occur as a means of correcting any perception of the individual as subordinate to others.

The techniques are specifically outlined in terms of such pre-literary theatricals as Punch and Judy puppet shows and vaudeville variety acts.

  • A Study Op Dramatic Structure in Harold Pinter's Stage Plays
    A STUDY OP DRAMATIC STRUCTURE IN HAROLD PINTER'S STAGE PLAYS by CHRISTINE PATRICIA PARKIN born CHRISTINE PATRICIA GEORGE B.A. , University of Bristol, 1955 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of English We accept this thesis as conforming to the reauired standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April, 1972 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of A The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date ABSTRACT Pinter has said that his main concern when writing a play is with structure, yet published criticism has so far paid little attention to this aspect of his craft. This study, therefore, examines the structures of Pinter's stage plays. The method followed is a chronological structural analysis moving from The Room through The Birthday Party, The Dumb Waiter, The Caretaker, The Homecoming, Landscape and Silence to his latest play, Old Times, first produced in London on June 1, 1971- The opening chapter discusses the terms which form a background to the subsequent description of the dramatic structures. The analyses demonstrate that there are at least three major features of his craftsmanship to emerge at this point in his career.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the pennission of the Author. FROM MENACE TO TORTURE: THE DEVELOPMENT OF HAROLD PINTER'S POLITICAL DRAMA A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English at Massey University Betty s. Livingston 1993 ii ABSTRACT There is a degree of continuity between Pinter's "comedies of menace" and his overtly political plays. The chief difference between the two types of plays is one of focus: in the "comedies of menace" Pinter emphasises social pressures exerted on the nonconforming indi victual, whereas in the overtly political plays he focusses explicitly on State oppression of the dissident. Pinter's passionate concern with politics has adversely affected his art, though there are signs of a return to form in his latest play, Party Time. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I am extremely grateful to Professor Dick Corballis for his generous and invaluable guidance and assistance. CONTENTS Page Acknowledgement iii CHAPTER ONE: Introduction 1 CHAPTER TWO: Society versus the nonconforming 5 individual: the "comedies of menace" CHAPTER THREE: The State versus the dissident 48 individual: the overtly political plays CHAPTER FOUR: The effect of Pinter's political 82 commitment on his art NOTES 89 BIBLIOGRAPHY 97 CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Pinter's seemingly abrupt switch to explicitly political drama in One for the Road took many of his critics by surprise.
