How is Absurdity significant in The Birthday Party by Harold Pinter?

∙ 9y ago
Absurdity plays alongside convention in The Birthday Party. Pinter sets his play and its characters in a humble seaside boarding house, with the characters acting out regular routines like eating corn flakes and reading the morning paper. The twists that arise during the play, which is rich in comedy, wind up revealing chaos, deceit, and insanity, all of these being absurdities amid the pleasant, normal setting.

Who is Harold pinter?
Harold Pinter was a British author, actor, director and playwright whom we so tragically lost in 2008. he won the Nobels piece prize in literature. He has written about 30 plays, 20 movie scripts and he set up about 30 plays in theaters, among the most known are: "The Birthday party", "The dumb waiter", "The Caretaker", "The Homecoming", "No man's land" and "betrayal". Pinter's drama was often about communication or lack of it. His plays often took on the relations between women and men. Fun fact: He has actually been the "victim" of research from many different perspectives, among others: Psychoanalytic, feminist research and more. An example on feminist research you'll find when you watch Pinter's "Female Portraits" from 1988. I mentioned that Pinter has received the Nobel piece prize for literature, well, he has won more than that. He has among others received the Shakespear-award, The European Literature Award and Moliere D'Honneur. In 1996 he was appointed commander of the order of the British Empire and in 2002 he received the Order of the Companions of Honour. Hope you're satisfied with the answer :-)
