Is there any relation between Harold Pinter and Post-modernism?

Pinter’s work, namely his plays, frequently contained
awkward pauses, ambiguous or confusing language and circuitous or endlessly wandering
plots. He used these techniques to present the unreliability of language which was a
theme explored by post-structuralists, deconstructionists and postmodernists. That is to
say that language is based on arbitrary signs and each text, each word or each sign can
be interpreted differently because of puns, irony and the general subjectivity of
perception. So, his work illustrated one of the trends in postmodernism, as applied to
literature, linguistics, philosophy and psychology, that all communication is ambiguous
and subject to multiple ways of
interpretation.

Additionally, postmodernists were skeptical
of all systems of thought, government ideologies and cultural roles. In presenting
confusing dialogue and wandering plots, Pinter illustrated skepticism in language,
meaning and communication in real life. Some of his plays, such as The
Birthday Party, depicted a Naturalistic or Realist setting on the surface.
But the dialogue, plot and interaction of the characters unsettled this superficial
Realism to reveal a depiction of existence as absurd, indeterminable and skeptical at
all levels. These techniques mark the influences of Brecht and Beckett, the skepticism
of postmodern literature and the “slipperiness” of meaning described by post-structural
linguists and literary theorists.
