Description
More than has been previously recognized, Harold Pinter's Weltanschauung is comprehensively existential. Classical absolutes, Medieval spirituality and Renaissance harmony are untenable in his drama. Rational logic and Naturalistic fate are antithetic to his philosophy. Pinter's dramatic aesthetic. has been directed by his existential ethic. In his drama , Pinter recreates the negative conditions of modern life by posing problems based upon existential ontology, axiology, epistemology, communication, and destiny; however, he resolves these dilemmas with positive existential solutions by which man may rediscover his existence in an insecure modern world.
