        <description><![CDATA[The Birthday Party is an early play of Harold Pinter and is composed at a stage in his career when the shadow of Beckett was looming large on him. If Waiting for Godot is the benchmark for The Theatre of the Absurd, The Birthday Party definitely echoes and responds to it. The absurdist traits in the play are both thematic and structural. Thematically speaking, it deals with the radical dislocation of identity in a world where language hardly...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Not an entirely ridiculous question, elgharba. It's not really a command on a form as it appears to be that's asking you to Complete The Birthday Party Summary, which I agree is very confusing. Poor Harold Pinter would probably roll over in his grave laughing if he saw it. The line or string of characters in question should really be written as 'The complete summary of "The birthday Party" and its characters by Harold Pinter is available...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The decade spanning the 1950s was a difficult time for Great Britain.  The country was in a decline as a world power; its colonies were gaining their independence, it had lost control of the vitally important Suez Canal, and the Irish Republican Army was causing chaos on the domestic front.  Not surprisingly, the mood at home was one of doubt, pessimism, helplessness, and rage.  Although the character of Stanley might be interpreted in a...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[A good way to make your own summaries is to read carefully, and make a note everytime something happens. Then, look over your notes and decide what was the most important event or revelation of that act. Then, expand upon those events in two ways-- one, explain what happened and what it means to the story which is the summary. Then interpret what you think the events mean in a more general sense and you've got the beginnings of an analysis....]]></description>
