s my bed That s my mother s bed This shows his authority and his wish to scare Davies He enjoys testing others weaknesses and confusing them Power gives him pleasure and a sense of identity Aston s Silent Authority Aston seems weak but later shows quiet power He helps Davies but later firmly orders him out He says You make too much noise calmly but strongly His silence becomes his strength not his weakness He gains control by rejecting Davies without anger Power as Human Need Each man seeks power to hide his loneliness They use words silence and kindness as weapons Power replaces love in their broken relationships Their struggle reflects human need for control and respect In short Pinter shows that love for power rules human behavior Davies Mick and Aston all fight to feel important Their power games end in emptiness not victory Thus power brings isolation not peace or love
