Harold Pinter is one of the major figures in contemporary drama and is best known for his blend of reality
and illusion in his plays. It is difficult to demarcate the line between the reality and illusion of human action in
his plays. The elusive nature of reality and illusion fill his plays with mysterious, suspense and ambiguities which
are constant in conflict and collusion with each other in personal, social and psychological dimension of human
action and consciousness. The present podcast is an attempt to analysis of reality and illusion in The
Homecoming.

An analysis of reality and illusion in Harold Pinter's "The Homecoming"
Apr 21, 202100:14:25Tap to summarizeHarold Pinter is one of the major figures in contemporary drama and is best known for his blend of reality and illusion in his plays. It is difficult to demarcate the line between the reality and illusion of human action in his plays. The elusive nature of reality and illusion fill his plays with mysterious, suspense and ambiguities which are constant in conflict and collusion with each other in personal, social and psychological dimension of human action and consciousness. Pinter explains reality is as faulty as illusion which is not absolute qualities. The perception of reality is different to different persons so it is difficult to hold it. He generally engenders his plays with an image of situation and a couple characters from real life which further develops with entrance of intruders and fear of insiders. The present podcast is an attempt to an analysis of reality and illusion in The Homecoming.
