Abstract
This paper explores the theme of fragmented landscape in Harold Pinter's play, "The Room," through a postmodern lens. The analysis examines how the play reflects and critiques the socio-political context of the postmodern era and how this context shapes the fragmented nature of the play's landscape. The paper argues that "The Room" is an important work of postmodern literature that exposes the dehumanizing effects of a fragmented landscape. This paper briefly explains Postmodernism and fragmented landscape and how Harold Pinter depicted them in his play. Keywords: Alienation, Fascism, Comedy of Menace, Postmodernism, Fragmentation
