Abstract
The present dissertation aims at pointing out how the idea of torture and oppression has gradually grown over decades throughout the theatre of Pinter in a way that reflects how far he is deeply concerned with the idea of the abuse of human rights and the invulnerability of power. The dissertation falls into four chapters and a conclusion: Chapter One: Introduction:Pinter and his Political Theatre:It is of paramount importance to the purpose of this dissertation to spotlight Pinter’s background, with a view to stressing multiple influences_ whether literary or non-literary; and second survey the essential stages of Pinter’s theatre in a way that shows how far the topic, namely ”torture”, develops throughout his drama. Furthermore, a comparison with contemporary dramatists, including Samuel Beckett, Eugene Ionesco and Franz Kafka would help point out Pinter’s dramatic art. The importance of this chapter lies in providing the background of the twentieth century within which Pinter’s art developed. Pinter’s approach to drama shows an artist who is trying to reconcile all diverse and experimental trends into a unique vision.
