Pinter, Harold: The caretaker
Beschreibung / Inhalt
Das Dokument beschreibt das Drama „The Caretaker“ von Harold Pinter. Es geht um die drei Hauptcharaktere Aston, Mick und Davies, die in einem heruntergekommenen Haus leben. Aston lässt Davies in seinem Zimmer wohnen, damit er seine Papiere zurückbekommen kann. Währenddessen hört Davies von Astons Vergangenheit in einer psychiatrischen Klinik. Mick versucht Davies zu manipulieren und gegen Aston aufzubringen, was am Ende jedoch scheitert.
Das Drama thematisiert das Problem menschlicher Kommunikation und zeigt die Einstellungen und Probleme eines Durchschnittsbürgers wie Davies mit seiner rassistischen, autoritären und manchmal auch unterwürfigen Natur und seinen sozialen Vorurteilen. Pinters Schreibstil verwendet eine Vielzahl von Charaktereigenschaften und enthüllt subtile Wortgefechte zwischen den Figuren.

In the 80 s he turned to political subjects and attacked totalitarian governments. His most famous works: The Birthday Party (1958), The Dumb Waiter (1957), The Caretaker (1960), No Man s Land (1975) and One for the Road (1984).

Mick: He s a really strange person; at the beginning he tortures Davies psychically; when he talks to him, he always repeats uninteresting things, talks about his family and compares him to his uncle and a bloke he once knew. He doesn t shrink back from insulting Davies, he plays Davies off Aston and often twists his words. Davies: He s arrogant and very racist, he especially discriminates against blacks. He likes smoking his pipe, never smokes cigarettes, never dreams, and never makes noises at night ...
