[EXCERPT] . . . .

2- Investigate Pinter's repressive regimes that tie social exclusion to political violence, utilizing a dynamic, not known in our current political climate, of delegitimizing oppositional ideas.

3- Demonstrate Pinter's concern with the historical consequences of fascism, and his principled opposition to Americanism and U.S. military actions in the Middle East.

4- Illuminate the dramatic, theatrical and linguistic artistry of Pinter in manipulating such themes as political violence and oppression.

Scope of the Study:

The study discusses the dramatic representation of political violence in Pinter's recent plays in relation to the modern politics and the playwright's political stances and attitudes towards the leading governments.

Thus, it draws theoretically on such figures as Louis Althusser, Michel Foucault, and Charles Grimes.
