In Harold Pinter’s A Kind of Alaska, Deborah, the heroine of the play, has slept for 29 years and awakes at the age of 45 due to an injection, L-DOPA. She finds herself awakened with an aging body and confused with the gap between chronological age and psychological age. To Deborah, everything is imprecise, unexplainable, unknown, or unremembered. While Deborah was sleeping, Hornby, a doctor who had looked after her for years, and Pauline, who is Deborah’s sister and Hornby’s ex-wife, took care of her and now they help Deborah to understand and realize the world. However, their ways of helping Deborah are not only caring for her. But they impose a certain relationship on Deborah to have power to govern the others. While Hornby and Pauline struggle to have power and try to force Deborah, she starts to determine what the reality is and makes her selection from the information presented to her by herself. In order to situate herself within the context of her family and the world, she tries to search for identity, and this search for her identity is the process of awakening in the play. Now, Deborah remains awakened by herself with her subjectivity and the process of her awakening can be the process of her realization of her new identity.
