That he occupies a position as a modern classic is illustrated by his name entering the language as an adjective used to describe a particular atmosphere and environment in drama: 'Pinteresque.'... Pinter restored theater to its basic elements: an enclosed space and unpredictable dialogue, where people are at the mercy of each other and pretense crumbles. With a minimum of plot, drama emerges from the power struggle and hide-and-seek of interlocution. Pinter's drama is perceived as a variation of absurd theater, but has later more aptly been characterized as 'comedy of menace, ' a genre where the writer allows us to eavesdrop on the play of domination and submission hidden in the most mundane conversations."<br>
