Abstract
Menace and fear play a vital role in Harold Pinter's plays. They are recurrent themes throughout the thematic construction of his plays. Pinter thinks that these feelings spring from within human beings. It is a matter of critical circumstances one may pass through.

The present paper tackles Pinter's The Birthday Party which trying to show the reason behind his fear which springs from his minority as a Jew.
