Abstract: | Pinter’s The Homecoming unveils women’s position in a patriarchal society under the title “Ruth as Mother-whore in Harold Pinter’s The Homecoming.” Conditions of female character are analogous to commodities. Ruth, a benign female protagonist is controlled, ruffled, and reviled by the belligerent, noisome and devious male characters. Women are incessant victims of patriarchal social structure; trivial roles and duties are assigned to them in accordance with the constructed gender categories. Hence, to liberate them from such biased and unnatural discrimination of the patriarchal structure and absolute gender categories which privilege males over females should be dismantled. |
