The Homecoming : a forum for discussion.

This blog was created with the aim of allowing an informal, open discussion of topics posed on the drama The Homecoming, by Harold Pinter.   The content of these discussions will aid in the understanding of the text, planning essays and later, for the purpose of revision. Moreover, the nature of publishing student’s ideas on these topics aims to encourage individual thought, independent thinking and give each student their own voice in the process.  I hope you take this quite seriously, give it your best effort and, most importantly, enjoy!
