While the Absurd is frequently used to analyze Harold Pinter's
work, some aspects have been long overlooked in Pinter criticism -
contemplation and affirmation. Many scholars note the menacing,
dark, and sinister qualities of Pinter's works, however there is a
lack of alternative interpretations and very little attention has
been paid to the affirmative aspects of his plays. This work
remedies the lack by examining these aspects, in particular the
characters' focus on overcoming trying circumstances, their
persistence in the pursuit of freedom, and their stoic but
courageous attitudes toward a fate they cannot avoid. Using Martin
Esslin's "invention" - the Theatre of the Absurd - to examine
Pinter's works, Jane Wong Yeang Chui brings the complexities and
intricacies of the plays to the forefront, provoking readers and
audiences to reconsider and problematize more conventional studies
of his plays.
