The question, What are Harold Pinter's plays really about? has been a constant puzzle to Harold Pinter. Again and again he has done his best to explain himself to himself, but it has never come to much and there is little hope that it ever will. 'I only formulate conclusions after I've written the plays,' he has said. 'I've no idea what I'm obsessed with—just so pleased to see the words on paper.'
