Let down by the uncertainties of memory, language, and their own
family units, the characters in Harold Pinter's plays endure
persistent struggles to establish their own identities. Eroding the
Language of Freedom re-examines how identity is shaped in these
plays, arguing that the characters' failure to function as active
members of society speaks volumes to Pinter's ideological
preoccupation with society's own inadequacies. Pinter described
himself as addressing the state of the world through his plays, and
in the linguistic games, emotional balancing acts, and recurring
scenarios through which he put his characters, readers and
audiences can see how he perceived that world.
