Harold Pinter is considered as one of the foremost representative of British drama in the second half of the twentieth century. He is not influenced by the writer like Kafka, Beckett and Hemingway and the repertory experience, but the menacing environment of England after Second World War in which he is grown up and the experience of the middle class insecure life inculcate in him a permanent mark of a sense of the unspecific forces that gives him stimuli to write his plays. The concept of menace goes hand in hand with certain human feelings like fear, insecurity and hopelessness. Menace refers to an intrigue and sinister, feeling of characters who have unspecified motive to overpower others. It may appear in a number of ways - physical, psychological and mental. Pinter presents life in his plays trapped by the surrounding menace and ‘an atmosphere of menace’ which changes the life style of his characters. It is because of menace, his characters do not leave the room. They feel safe and secure in the closed room. Stanley remains in his seaside boarding house, Davies expects to live with Aston and Ruth is only character who tries to defend the menace. The present paper is an attempt to study of menace and violence of unspecific forces in The Caretaker.
