| Abstract | ||
| To be a writer in the contemporary age, that becomes so much complicated, puts a responsibility on the behalf of this writer to reflect and find a solution to some of the complications in this world. Martin McDonagh finds his own way to depict the terrifying reality of the world where a lot of gruesome crimes are committed. In The Pillowman, the playwright presents a series of horrible murders whose victims are children. The play is filled with a lot of literary and actual performed scenes that present the murders against those children. The Pillowman is about Katurian, a writer, who is suspected as being a real killer of a series of children’s murders because those murders are done according to his stories. However, the policemen abuse him literary and physically despite the fact that he is only a suspect. Later on, they find that his brain-damaged brother, Michal, is the real murderer. The play ends with one of the policemen shooting Katurian for lying to them. | ||
