Beyond Pragmatism: A Study of Harold Pinter’s Plays

Abstract

The present research work aims to study Harold Pinter’s pragmatic views in his plays. Some British life, Harold Pinter, looked thick like John Osborne and Arnold Wesker, but incredibly wonderful among the most pragmatic modern British players. Pinter shares the realistic social obligations of the people of the same era. This is a situation, character, and completely realistic language. His dramatic situations are common: the tramp discusses with two brothers the opportunity to become a career for their round-world apartment; The young man loses his composure during a party on the occasion of his anniversary of the presence of two men whom he does not know; The couple reflect on the seller of the match outside their bungalow and, finally, invites them inside. The characters are as common as situations: non-heroic people of the city's intermediate and lower classes. The conversations were carefully and accurately transcribed versions of ordinary conversation. It was from this grain that the realists of the Osborne school made the leaven of social protest. But behind the realistic prose of Pinter's plays lurks the spirit of a poet, transforming the same dreary material into something closer to poetry than anything else we bear the name for.
