What style did Harold Pinter use in The Homecoming?

As in other Pinter's plays of the late 1950s and 1960s,
The Homecoming has a realist setting but its style baffled
audiences who were still used to reliable plot development and meaningful dialogues
between the characters to advance the events in the play. Thus, except for the surface,
the style of the play points to the absurd condition of human existence. The progression
of the play does not always follow a cause-effect development as the audiences would
have expected when it was first produced. In addition, very little reliable information
is given about the characters' past and their actions. The conclusion where Ruth accepts
to become a prostitute and provide sexual solace to his husband's male family members is
given in such a matter-of-fact way so as to create in the viewers a disturbing clash
between what they think absurd and what the characters in the play think as acceptable.
Thus, Pinter's style in The Homecoming invites audiences to go
beyond the referentiality of language and the characters' utterances to explore their
deeper motivations and behaviors.
