The Birthday Party by Pinter as a Comedy of Manner

When "a polite person" once asked what his drama is, Pinter avoided the sentence "Itachi under a cocktail cabinet" and he regretted being criticized by the general public, being taken seriously . Although Pinter 's protest is the contrary, many critics and other commentators believe Pinter' s "comment" is still "funny" but still a correct explanation of his play. Today, the phrase "threat comedy" is often applied to it, they are interesting, but they suggest that they are also horrible or intimidating ambiguous and undefined ways.

The dramatic character birthday party of the birthday party reflects his own rules and the characteristics of the drama and is considered to be one of the most wonderful works of Pinter. Perhaps Pinter is very different from other absurd writers such as Samuel Beckett and Inesko. But in any case, I can think that Martin Eislin's silly plays witnessed several other themes and a series of related ideas. This is also due to the style of Pinter, but instead of preaching speech and classified statements, events, characters and languages ​​are shown to the audience and important things are happening even if something is not clarified Indicates that.

In the 1950's, a ridiculous drama of Irish writer Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for absurd things" (1955) has had a major impact on British dramas. The silly drama influenced Harold Pinter (born in 1930) (the 1958 birthday party), and its work often features threats and claustrophobia. Beckett also affected Tom Stoppard (born 1937) (both Rosencrantz and Guildenstern died in 1966). However, the work of Stoppard is famous for its high ingenuity and variety of knowledge he has dealt with in various theaters.

We will not welcome changes easily - Harold Pinter's first performance in 1958, the birthday party was very cruelly criticized and had to be completed within a week. Two years later, his second drama "The Caretaker" was praised mainly as a victory for critics who seriously hurt his early works. Over the years Pintor's art has been respected and accused. But in the 1960s, this was a revolution. Known as one of the "angry young people" by critics, Pinter's work went to the neck, revealed social hypocrisy, challenged the system, and exposed self-satisfaction and gentry's behavior corruption. His curved nose has a bit more nose, but it can be tolerated by those sharp eyes and elaborate craftsmanship techniques, even though it is deliberately uncomfortable and ultimately not beneficial, but that uncomfortable human flicker can be tolerated is.
