Résumé
In Landscape, Silence, and Night, Harold Pinter presents characters who repeatedly try to remember and share their memories with others, but fail to do so. By introducing the idea of inchoation, I suggest that this never-endingly initiated process acts as a mode of the humble in the plays, as it repeatedly heightens the awareness of one’s limits and ability to fail.
