Journal Article
Freedom as a Mirage: Sexual Commodification in Harold Pinter's Films
2021
Overview
Luce Irigaray's mimesis is a political action born out of the recognition that
women's position in society is based upon the ideal image of masculinity. It is,
thus, a strategy that aims to articulate the specific position of women within
the phallocentric culture in order to destabilize the foundations of this
culture. Three of Harold Pinter's film adaptations— Accident
(1967), The Go-Between (1971), and Betrayal
(1983)—portray women in intricate relationships with men; consequently, the
women are seen by some critics as liberated, yet ultimately, they are
commodified. When it comes to the institution of marriage, Irigaray's mimesis
theory together with a broad-spectrum feminist critique, see this “liberation”
as a mirage.
