This essay aims to explore the nature of the dramatic works of Harold Pinter. The emphasis is mainly on his concept of drama writing, his unique “comedy of menace”, his unconventional employment of the dramatic language, and the distinction between him and the French absurdists. The author points out that absurdity and obscurities are the surface characteristics of Pinter's drama, its nature is to reflect the British society at that time, to make readers think and to strike a responsive chord in the hearts of readers.
