Menace in the early plays of Harold Pinter

Authors

  • Peter Rainey

Abstract

The basic reason for mystification in Pinter's plays is that Pinter is merely suggesting an area of life that he is exploring. Uncertainty about the past of Stanley, the identity of Davies and the existence of his papers; and the existence and location of Monty, makes Pinter's plays frightening. And fright suggests menace.
