It presents the amorphous complexity of post-industrial society. The world anxiety is frequently used in writing about Pinter, but usually only in passing or when describing the atmosphere of the plays or sometimes, their effect on an audience. Pinter investigates the nature and meaning of psychological pressures occurring as a consequence of actions committed or experiences endured in the past. His plays provide an excellent study of human minds and spirits stunted by anxiety. This research paper intends to explore elements of loneliness, isolation, personal identity and lack of communication, violence, menace, love of power, primitive instincts, human nature, dreams and illusions in the play The Caretaker by Harold Pinter.
