Harold Pinter’s (1930-2008) The Dumb Waiter (1957) focuses on the tensions experienced by two hitmen, Ben and Gus, as they wait for their next order in a closed basement. The complex interactions of these characters represent the existential anxieties emerging in an indifferent, and absurd universe of human existence. In this work, Pinter emphasizes lack of communication and alienation through the dialogues and silences between the characters. This theme is also explored in Albert Camus’s (1913-1960) the Myth of Sisyphus (1942), where, after explaining concepts such as absurdity, suicide, and the absurd man, the story of Sisyphus endlessly rolling a rock up a hill, only to see it roll back down, is described. Camus uses this myth as a metaphor for the existential struggle of humanity. Both works serve as metaphors for the relentless human effort in an absurd universe filled with indifferent, repetitive actions, exemplified by waiting for an unknown task and pushing the rock. This in mind, this article argues that Pinter’s the Dumb Waiter aligns with and parallels Camus’s principles of absurdism, as Pinter’s play is examined as an interpretation of Camus’s philosophy. This article also explores how Ben and Gus resonate with the concept of ‘absurd man’ defined by Camus. The analysis emphasizes that both works, through their parallels and themes of searching for meaning in human existence represent the place of humanity and search for meaning in an absurd universe.
