Senior Theses, Trinity College, Hartford, CT 2012. Trinity College Digital Repository, https://digitalrepository.trincoll.edu/theses/209 The Evocation of the Physical, Metaphysical and Sonic Landscapes within the Short Dramatic Works of Samuel Beckett Submitted by Theresa A. Incampo May 4, 2012 Trinity College Department of Theater and Dance Hartford, CT 2 Table of Contents Acknowledgements 5 I: History Time, Space and Sound in Beckett’s short dramatic works 7 A historical analysis of the playwright’s theatrical spaces including the concept of temporality, which is central to the subsequent elements within the physical, metaphysical and sonic landscapes. These landscapes are constructed from physical space, object, light, and sound, so as to create a finite representation of an expansive, infinite world as it is perceived by Beckett’s characters.. II: Theory Phenomenology and the conscious experience of existence 59 The choice to focus on the philosophy of phenomenology centers on the notion that these short dramatic works present the theatrical landscape as the conscious character perceives it to be. The perceptual experience is explained by Maurice Merleau-Ponty as the relationship between the body and the world and the way as to which the self-limited interior space of the mind interacts with the limitless exterior space that surrounds it.

  • The Language of Silence: the Syntax of Power and Politics in Pinter's Later Plays
    International Journal of Management and Applied Science, ISSN: 2394-7926 Volume-5, Issue-11, Nov.-2019 http://iraj.in THE LANGUAGE OF SILENCE: THE SYNTAX OF POWER AND POLITICS IN PINTER'S LATER PLAYS NUPUR TANDON Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Malaviya National Institute of Technology Jaipur-India E-mail: [email protected] Abstract - The atmosphere of a Pinter play hangs heavy with words- the oblique, the noncommittal, the dismissive, and, intriguingly, the unspoken. And as a dramatist engaged in exploring the possibilities of language, it is what is left unsaid that most impacts him. Pinter questions the ability of language to speak of 'reality' and explores its limitations. His early plays confounded audiences and critics alike as these 'comedies of menace' brought on the stage characters who are lonely, frightened and despairing men and women, struggling to express themselves, utterly broken down and annihilated in the end by ruthless, articulate, powerful men. Implicitly political, this is as yet a theatre of images; but the social setting is significant as we see immigrants, drifters, the mentally disabled and the marginalized that exist on the fringes of society and are consequently helpless in the face of authority. This paper will deal with two of Pinter's later plays: One for the Road and Mountain Language - plays that, in contrast to his earlier ones, are overtly political and yet carry forward his artistic commitment. For here, again, Pinter is concerned with the arbitrary boundaries man makes for himself- of concrete, of language and of philosophy. One for the Road (1984) transports us into the dark world of a moral wasteland with its theme of torture and totalitarian suppression.

  • Pinteresque Dialogue
    Jadwiga Uchman University of Łódź Pinteresque Dialogue A BSTR A CT The expression “Pinteresque” describing the characteristic features of Harold Pinter’s artistic output, established its position as a literary critical denominator many years ago. The aim of this article is to analyze some of the specific aspects of the playwright’s use of language. On several occa- sions, the artist made comments pertaining to certain issues concerning communication. He rejected the idea of the alienation of language and promoted the concept of evasive communication, thus showing people’s unwillingness to communicate. He also spoke about two kinds of silence, the first referring to a situation where there is actual silence, when “no word is spoken,” and the second , when “a torrent of language is being employed” in order to cover the character’s “nakedness.” Accordingly, Pinter’s plays may, depending on their perspective, be treated as dramas of language or of silence. This led Peter Hall, Pinter’s favourite theatre direc- tor and also a close friend, to notice that in the playwright’s oeuvre there is a clear distinction beween three dots, a pause and a silence. This article discusses in detail the uneven distribution of pauses and silences in Harold Pinter’s 1977 play, Betrayal. It becomes evident that the use of different kinds of silence clearly indicates the emotional state of the characters at any given moment. Keywords: Pinter, “Betrayal,” pause, silence. Pinteresque Dialogue It is not clear who first used the word “Pinteresque,” but it is obvious that by now it has acquired the status of an often used and accepted critical term describing the specific quality of Harold Pinter’s output.

  • Chapter : 4 Discourse of Self and Other in Landscape
    317 CHAPTER : 4 DISCOURSE OF SELF AND OTHER IN LANDSCAPE. SILENCE AND NIGHT The three plays discussed in this chapter, Landscape. Silence and Niqht^ are important in understanding the cumulative discourse of Self and Other or the conflict between social and existential definitions of Self. In other words, the dialectic between objective and subjective reality which was discussed in chapter three, is further intensified here as the characters try to gather up their own lives through past and present. The gap here between subjective and objective reality is so great that to the characters re-living their past, the subjective truth embedded in the consciousness often appears more authentic than any other reality. The main problem of these plays is that there are versions of truth which are difficult to reconcile, but for the characters analysing their own past and assessing it, it is difficult to accept such fragmentation. The difficulty of verification persistently highlights the importance of perception and perspective in the search for meaning and understanding. These plays, generally described as "memory plays," are often compared to Beckett's last plays,^ and this makes it important for us to remember that unlike the memory plays of Beckett, these are not static descriptions, but full of possibilities. Within the contours of these plays, there are intense explorations of interrelationships, which vary according to the constraints of gender, social status and knowledge. The most important element of these plays is the acute consciousness of age, time and even death in the midst of a longing for life, for youth and subjectively re-living the past.
