- Abstract
The theme of adultery has been used in a wide range of literature through the ages, and as a theme it brings intense emotions into the foreground. This has been a common theme in literature and Harold Pinter, the eminent British playwright of the twentieth century too in his plays negotiates this theme in terms of the Reality-Illusion paradigm where he presents people who are either really betrayed or who live in world of fantasy. Harold Pinter should have thought that it is necessary to represent those who are really betrayed and those who live in fantasy. In his play, The Collection, it is a mere fantasy, whereas in The Homecoming, it is real and everyone knows about it. The article tries to consider these two plays of Pinter from this perspective.
