2,785 words (approx. 11.1 pages) | 3 sources | MLA | 2003 United States


Paper Summary:

This paper argues that people make choices ignorant of the consequences. It examines the characters of Harold Pinter's "Betrayal" as manifestations of the Freudian psyche: the id, ego. and superego. Using this model, the author dissects their actions and the overall actions of the play. The paper includes two specific, in-depth analyses of scenes.

From the Paper:

"Betrayal is one act, broken into nine formal scenes, suggesting the integral continuity of life, as well as its episodic nature. Close inspection of any one of these scenes reveals a careful representation of human dialogue when nearly all the action is based upon deceit. In particular, scenes four and five illustrate Pinter's dramatic and thematic structure."
