  • Interpretation of the Subtext of Harold Pinter's the Room, a Thematic Study
    International Journal on Studies in English Language and Literature (IJSELL) Volume 3, Issue 3, March 2015, PP 51-58 ISSN 2347-3126 (Print) & ISSN 2347-3134 (Online) www.arcjournals.org Interpretation of the Subtext of Harold Pinter’s the Room, A Thematic Study Mona F. Hashish Northern Border University, Saudi Arabia [email protected] Keywords: Harold Pinter, subtext, silence, fear and violence. Harold Pinter (1930- 2008) is a modern British Noble-prize winning dramatist. The research tackles his first play The Room (1957). That play represents Pinter’s early subtle plays where he hides meanings within their folds. In his early phase, Pinter chooses to be silent, discreet and indirect in both language and characterization. The research studies the unspoken in The Room because it tells important and crucial information about the characters, their thoughts and their past. Pinter makes his play so ambiguous that it is not understood without analyzing what is said and what is not said. Moreover, the study treats the main themes in the play: alienation, violence, menace and fear. Therefore, the research investigates the subtext in order to reveal the embedded meanings of the text. The Room primarily discusses Rose’s tragedy that is unsaid. The protagonist’s reaction reflects her suffering. The paper manages to discover the reasons of her tragedy through studying her attitude, and analyzing her actions, reactions, silence and gestures. The Room is one of Harold Pinter‘s early plays that are vague and highly suggestive. John Brown calls Pinter‘s early plays –such as The Room (1957), The Birthday Party (1958), The Dumb Waiter (1959), The Caretaker (1960) and The Homecoming (1965) –‗interior plays‘ because they are all subtle and implicit (12).

    Masking Moments The Transitions of Bodies and Beings in Late Iron Age Scandinavia Ing-Marie Back Danielsson Masking Moments The Transitions of Bodies and Beings in Late Iron Age Scandinavia Ing-Marie Back Danielsson Stockholm University Doctoral dissertation 2007 Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies Stockholm University 106 91 STOCKHOLM MASKING MOMENTS The Transitions of Bodies and Beings in Late Iron Age Scandinavia Ing-Marie Back Danielsson BA in Archaeology and BSc in Economics and Business Administration Maskerade ögonblick. Förvandlingar av kroppar och väsen i skandinavisk yngre järnålder. (Med en svensk sammanfattning). Abstract This thesis explores bodily representations in Late Iron Age Scandinavia (400–1050 AD). Non-human bodies, such as gold foil figures, and human bodies are analysed. The work starts with an examination and deconstruction of the sex/gender catego- ries to the effect that they are considered to be of minor value for the purposes of the thesis. Three analytical concepts – masks, miniature, and metaphor – are de- ployed in order to interpret how and why the chosen bodies worked within their prehistoric contexts. The manipulations the figures sometimes have undergone are referred to as mask- ing practices, discussed in Part One. It is shown that masks work and are powerful by being paradoxical; that they are vehicles for communication; and that they are, in effect, transitional objects bridging gaps that arise in continuity as a result of events such as symbolic or actual deaths. In Part Two miniaturization is discussed. Miniaturization contributes to making worlds intelligible, negotiable and communicative. Bodies in miniatures in compari- son to other miniature objects are particularly potent.

The reader is invited to explore the umwelten of animals in a successful attempt to retrieve the relationship of people with animals: a cornerstone of the past common evolutionary processes. The twelve chapters, which cover recent developments in zoosemiotics and much more, inspire the reader to think about the human condition and about ways to recover our lost contact with the animal world.

  • Fifth Annual Colloquium on Thinking About Mythology in the 21St Century
    Fifth Annual Colloquium on Thinking about Mythology in the 21st Century University of Edinburgh 10th–11th November 2017 Room locations: GS – 50 George Square DHT – David Hume Tower ii Abstracts Some Scandinavian and Celtic Magical Texts and Practices Friday 9.45am Stephen Mitchell GS 1.06 Harvard University Throughout his career, the doyen of Old Norse studies, Einar Ól. Sveinsson, promoted the likely connection between Irish and Icelandic literary traditions (e.g., 1929, 1975). Revisited by many other fine scholars over the decades, this question of Hyperborean literary relations was carefully reviewed with respect to the broad spectrum of Celtic traditions, modern as well as ancient, by Rosemary Powers (1987), who specifically focussed on the use of spells (gaesa and álög). One interesting ‘pair’ of this sort, but not part of her corpus, was noted at least as early as 1928 by Jöran Sahlgren (and later, in 1939, by Konstantin Reichardt); it consists of the many points of comparison, including the use of magic, between the Old Irish ‘The Adventures of Connla the Fair’ (Echtrae Chonnlai) and the Old Icelandic eddic poem ‘Skírnir’s Journey’ (Fo˛r Scírnis), and appears to provide a further use- ful aperture for such a comparison. In my paper, I will build on previous work in the area (e.g., Harris 1975; Larrington 1992; Gunnell 1993; Mitchell 2007, 2011), looking to examine taxonomic, rather than phylogenetic, comparisons between these and similar texts, centering on how magic is used in such situations.

  • 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.

This thesis examines how Íslendingasögur outlaw narratives engage with socio-political concepts of community and the individual. It demonstrates that the sagas discussed share key anxieties over the deep structural problems in society, which are shown to restrict the individual agency of their protagonists, a restriction that motivates the transgressive behaviour of these individuals.
