He used common place characters and settings (Columbia Encyclopedia, 2008). His plays concern struggle for power without any reason. He has his own special style: nobody can produce so many pauses like him in order to express horror and anxiety. The Columbia Encyclopedia explains: The peculiar tension he creates often derives as much from the long silences between speeches as from the often curt, ambiguous, yet vividly vernacular speeches themselves. His austere language is extremely distinctive, as is the ominous unease and sense of imminent violence that it provokes, and he is one of the few writers to have an adjective-Pinteresque-named for him. Pinter has written twenty-nine plays and twenty-one screen plays, he has also directed twenty-seven theatre productions. Many critics regard him as one of the figures of the Theatre of the Absurd (Esslin, 1964). Charles A. Carpenter (1973) recommends: “Absurd, which is one of the many different aspects of his works, functions as a means of getting into the reality that is Pinter's main concern”. In his own website he writes: In 1958 I wrote the following: “There are no hard distinctions between what is real and what is unreal, nor between what is true and what is false. A thing is not necessarily either true or false. it can be both true and false” I believe that these assertions still make sense and do still apply to the exploration of reality through art. So as a writer I stand by them but as a citizen I cannot. As a citizen I must ask: What is true? What is false? ‘The Theatre of the Absurd’ is a term coined by Martin Esslin (1964), who made it the title of his book on the subject. The term refers to a special type of plays which first became popular during the 1950s and 1960s and which presented on the stage the philosophy expressed by French philosopher Albert Camus in an essay named “The Myth of Sisyphus”. In his essay he defines the human condition as basically meaningless (Esslin, 1964). The Theatre of the Absurd was undoubtedly influenced by the shocking experience of the horrors of the Second World War, which showed the unsteadiness of human life and its basic meaninglessness (Crabb, 2006). This terrible experience of living from 1945 under threat of nuclear destruction also seems to have been an important factor in the rise of this theatre (Crabb, 2006). This Theatre aims to create ritual-like, mythological and allegorical vision, closely related to the world of dreams. The main point of these dreams is often man’s confusion and anxiety coming from the fact that he has no answer to the basic existential questions such as: Why we are alive? Why we have to die? Why there is injustice and suffering? Therefore. The Theatre of the Absurd is commonly associated with the existentialism and it shows the failure of human beings without recommending the solution (Esslin, 1964). Most of the absurdist playwrights attempt to convey their sense of confusion, anxiety and wonder in the face of an unexplainable universe. Their works express the belief that, in a godless universe, human existence has no meaning or purpose, therefore. all communication fails. Logical conversation and argument gives away to illogical speech and to its final conclusion, silent. The absurd in these plays shows the man’s reaction to a world apparently without meaning or man as a puppet controlled or menaced by an invisible outside force (Culik, 2000).
