Some gestures are repeated, sometimes we notice a pause, a long pause, or silence amid the conversation which show the character's subconscious conflicts and their ludicrous reality. Pinter relates in his dialogue between words and gestures of his characters to give more subtle impression. This research shows how this works with Pinter's characters in the two mentioned plays. One of the writers see that body language accounts for 55% of his interactive communication in voice tone and actual words. People around anyone usually make a certain opinion about that one before starting to speak. One does that all the time unconsciously. Many writers of " body language " believe that one does communicate volumes of information about himself/ herself with his/ her face expression or a position of the arm or the leg. The dictionary defines " body language " as the gestures, postures, and facial expressions by which a person manifests different moods and states, and communicates nonverbally with others. The present research concentrates on body language in two of his plays The Birthday Party and The Dumb Waiter. His characters always appear inside a room fearing the outside which mostly attacks them and change their lives. He is an absurdist and his surname has been turned into an adjective " Pinteresque" that describes the situations fraught with ambiguity and menace which characterize his plays. Harold Pinter was born in 1930 in London.
