9780333615027: Gender and Power in the Plays of Harold Pinter

Synopsis

By examining many of Pinter's major works, Cahn shows that Pinter's theme of struggle for security often manifests itself in a gender battle, where men dominate the physical arena, but women control the emotional battleground. Cahn sees this disparity as creating a tension that is at once comic and unnerving, and believes that these gender differences are dramatized, not as social constructs, but as inherent qualities. This book covers most of Pinter's major plays and is intended as a general introduction to his work or as a companion volume.
