HERE I AM PRESENTING MY READING AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE PLAY AND THE MOVIE BIRTHDAY PARTY BY HAROLD PINTER. I ALSO WANT TO THANKS BARAD SIR, FOR HE PROVIDE PLATFORM CREATING THIS WORKSHEET WHERE STUDENTS CAN EXPRESS EVEN THOSE THINGS WHICH MISSED OUT DURING MOVIE SCREENING OR DISCUSSING THE PLAY AND MOVIE. ‘THE BIRTHDAY PARTY’ IS BASICALLY SHOWING MEANINGLESSNESS AND NOTHINGNESS AS THE THEATER OF THE ABSURD. IT SHOWS NOTHINGNESS OF HUMAN EXISTENCE. THE WORD COMEDY OF MENACE IS ALSO USED TO DESCRIBE THE PLAY. COMEDY OF MENACE TERM WAS COINED BY IRVING WARDLE. IT DESCRIBED IN THE PLAYS OF DAVID CAMPTON. AS THERE IS PAUSES AND SILENCE SHOWN IN THE PLAY THAT SHOWS PINTERESQUE EFFECT. PINTER ALSO USED MANY NON VERBAL DEVICES TO CREATE THE FEELING OF THREATENING. TILL THE MOVIE IS CONCERN TO GIVE THE EFFECT, I’VE FELT THE EFFECT OF MENACE DURING THE PLAY. THERE ARE MANY SCENES WHICH CREATED SUCH KIND OF EFFECT LIKE, WHILE LULU COMES AND SHE KNOCKS THE DOOR BUT THAT TIME MEG AND STANLEY GETS FRIGHTENED ABOUT THE ARRIVAL OF STRANGERS. BUT SHE WAS LULU. SO THERE WAS KNOCKING AT THE DOOR. AGAIN THERE WAS KNOCKING AT THE DOOR AND THAT TIME TWO STRANGERS WERE THERE. SO AGAIN THEY FRIGHTENED. THUS KNOCKING AT THE DOOR BECAME MEDIUM TO CREATE MENACE IN THE PLAY. SO THE KNOCKING BECOMES THREATENING AND IT IS USED AS TECHNICAL DEVICE. WHILE READING THE TEXT ALSO IT GIVES VISUAL IMAGINATION THAT IS CREATING MENACING EFFECT. THE MOVIE COULD AROUSE COMPARATIVELY GOOD EFFECT OF LURKING DANGER AS THE READING TEXT IT AROUSE. AS THE CHARACTER OF GOLDBERG IS CONFIRMED AND POWERFUL WHILE MCCANN HAS BEEN SHOWN UNDER THE THREATEN OF UNKNOWN THING, SHOWING HIS WEAKNESS ASMCCANN : IS THIS IT ?GOLDBERG : THIS IS IT. PINTER ALSO USED THAT READING NEWSPAPER AND OTHER CONNECTIONS WHICH PROVES THAT BASIC ELEMENTS AN ENCLOSED SPACE AND UNPREDICTABLE DIALOGUE, WHERE PEOPLE ARE AT THE MERCY OF ONE ANOTHER AND PRETENSE CRUMBLES AS WE CAN SEE THE REFERENCE FROM THE DIALOGUES OF GOLDBERG ALSO THAT HE REFERS TO HIS PAST AS MCCANN CAN VIEWED AS VICTIM OF GOLDBERG, GOLDBERG WAS VICTIM O SOCIETY. THE DIALOGUES ARE ALSO UNPREDICTABLE AS IN THE INTERROGATION SCENE IT’S SEEN. HOW THE DIALOGUES ARE SPOKEN LIKE• WHY DID YOU SEEN THAT MEN TO PLAY CHESS?• WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH OLD LADY?• WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH YOUR WIFE? VIEWING MOVIE HAS OBVIOUSLY HELPED IN BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE PLAY ‘THE BIRTHDAY PARTY’ WITH ITS TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS LIKE PINTERESQUE, PAUSE, SILENCE, MENACE, LURKING DANGER AS ALL THIS ARE INCLUDED VERY WELL BY THE DIRECTOR WILLIAM FRIEDKIN. SO HERE IT’S CONCLUDING THAT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO IMAGINE A BETTER FILM OF PINTER'S PLAY THAN THIS SENSITIVE, DISTURBING VERSION AS THIS MADE BY WILLIAM FRIEDKIN.I LOOK FORWARD FOR COUNTER ARGUE OR AGREEMENT FROM ALL MY CLASSMATES. FEEL FREE TO DISCUSS VIRTUAL WAY.THANK YOU.
