The reflection of direct and indirect politics in pinter’s the birthday party and one for the road

Bu çalışma, 20 yy. en önde gelen İngiliz oyun yazarlarından Harold Pinter’ın The Birthday Party ve One for the Road adlı oyunlarındaki dolaylı ve dolaysız siyaseti ele almaktadır. Pinter’ın siyasi görüşlerini dolaysız yansıtmaması 1980’li yıllarda birçok eleştirmenin sıkça eleştirdiği ve oyunlarını defalarca yorumladıkları bir yazar olmuştur. Pinter’ın oyunlarındaki siyaset o dönemin tiyatro geleneğinden kayda değer oranda farklılıklar göstermektedir. Pinter’ın, The Birthday Party ve One for the Road adlı oyunlarındaki dolaylı siyasetten dolaysız siyasete geçiş kademeli olarak ele alınmıştır.

Pinter’ın the birthday party ve one for the road oyunlarında dolaylı ve dolaysız siyasi yansımalar

This paper deals with the interplay of the direct and indirect politics in Pinter’s The Birthday Party (1958) and One for the Road (1984). Harold Pinter, a twentieth century leading British playwright, was always a public annoyance due to his obscure ideas as a citizen and his political canon which in the 1980s led critics to make re-interpretations of the changes in Pinter’s political views. The politics of Pinter’s drama significantly differs from those in the canons of the other playwrights what, in fact, made us exhibit the gradual shift from the indirect politics to the direct politics in The Birthday Party and One for the Road.
