Criticizing “Peace Keepers” in Harold Pinter’s Celebration

Abstract

                Celebration (1999) is one of the powerful political plays of Harold Pinter in which he criticizes the “strategy consultants” who are supposed to be peace keepers and take care of other people’s important matters since they represent the authority. However, they’re portrayed in this play to be talking about trivial things using obscene language and do not care about political oppression, poverty, and other important issues of people in the world. Moreover, they do not have any sense of love or mutual understanding in their families as husbands and wives because they’ve lost their interest in each other and this is the irony in the whole play.This paper deals with Harold Pinter as a great British playwright who was interested in writing about political issues. His play, Celebration, deals with the big problem that is found even in our society, i.e., the feeling of carelessness of politicians towards their people and their suffering and problems. It consists of an abstract, an introduction, one section, and a conclusion that shows the findings of the research.
