The Birth Day Party

Here i want to share my view about this play. Harold Pinter was known for his Comedies of Menace.The Birth Day Party is full-length play.This play first act begins with morning Petey Boles reading a news paper it is sybolic.It is famous symbol for Printer Paly. Stanley-Main character of this play.Another important character in the play is Lulu.
Pinter said:
" Everything is funny until the horror of human situation rises to the surface..."
life is funny because it is based on illusion and self-deception, like Stanley's dream of a world tour as a pianist, because it is built out of pretence..."
Fear also found in the play.Stanley is only main vehicle for comedy.One of thing i also find out it is about Pinter's character Pinter does not give fix background information about the character so it is not fixed as belonging to any particular place or time.
so we can say that Syanley has no history he does not belong to any family.`
about film this film sound is horror.The fim director use this effect very well.Stanley beatina a drum and it's sound is effective.
In the movie i also observe one thing Director also uses silence pause.In the play pinter also uses silence pause.Pinter's known as a the "Pinter Pause".
There are two silence.
1).One when no word in spoken.
2).A torrent of language. 


Newspaper: Play and movie both open with the Petey reading a newspaper.

Mirror: is also one of the symbol in Pinter’s plays, mirror image is always a kind of unrealistic or lie image which shows what we are.

Breakfast: Meg giving Petey corn flex it shows she makes fuss over everything the paper, the fried bread, or her housekeeping anything.  The whole breakfast scene is reminiscent of the king of domestic trivia.

Toy drum: in the act one ends that time Meg gave toy drum to the Stanley, it remains to the end. It is well intentioned but stupid present.
