Pinter's play, Old Times, having its own peculiar characteristics, defies any easy categorization into either traditional drama or absurd drama. It can be said that Pinter's plays can and/or cannot be considered one of these two dramatic modes. His unique aesthetic form represents a world governed by the principle of “undecidability”. The linguistic and psychoanalytical perspective of Jacque Lacan provides a very effective approach for unravelling the structural cause of the absurdity of human life as captured by Pinter. From a Lacanian point of view, Pinter's work deals essentially with absurd human conditions in terms of the basic relationships between human subjects and language, that is, the ontological alienation of man as a signifier. Old Times deals with the birth and splitting of the human subject in the most basic part of Lacanian theory, in which a stable dichotomy is impossible. By contemplating the original relationship between the unconscious and language, Pinter shares psychoanalytic concerns about the human condition, and creates a new mode of drama, which is different from other contemporary plays. As Pinter forgrounded subtext, Lacan in his work wished to explore the unconsciousness of human desire and described the intrapsychic realms of the Imaginary, the Symbolic and the Real. Viewing Old Times through Lacan's desire theory, which exhibits Lacan's concept of “objet petit a”, that humans seek in others, this study examines the way in which the characters refuse the fixed gaze of the audience, critics, etc and seem to be reborn. One often reads about the Other, but here, the otherness is within ourselves.
