خلاصة:
Colonialism has been practiced by many countries in the last centuries or so. The
kind of relationship between the colonizers and the colonized has had mutual effects
on the culture, identity, and many more aspects of the two countries. This paper
deals with the concept of colonialism from both inner and outer views regarding
Harold Pinters Caretaker and Chinua Achebes No Longer at Ease with some
references to Bhabhis ideas, respectively. Basing its method on content and text
analysis, it reveals that the kind of colonialism going on regarding human attitudes,
identity, and individual independence between Nigeria and England which is
indicated by Achebe, on the one hand, as an example of outer colonialism, may be
the inspiration for a paragon of inner colonialism in England portrayed in Pinters
work, on the other hand. The novelty of the papers illustration of the theme would
be promising for further analysis and search.

This research basing its approach on content analysis method tries to show the inner and the outer colonialism developed by Pinter (1959) and his work The Caretaker and Achebe (1960) and No Longer at Ease, respectively.
Analysis As an opening remark, one can refer to Pinter¶s great Noble-Prize lecture (2008) addressing the American authorities on their colonial-like diplomacy on other 165 The Journal of Applied Linguistics and Applied Literature: Dynamics and Advances, Volume 6, Issue 2, Summer and Autumn, 2018, pp.
Where Pinter bravely reflects the social conditions of his time after world wars through his theatre of menace and absurd in his major works, Achebe hinges the mode of presentation upon Bhabhi¶s (1994) definition of µhybridity¶ stressing the ³interaction between the colonizer and the colonized and the 166 The Journal of Applied Linguistics and Applied Literature: Dynamics and Advances, Volume 6, Issue 2, Summer and Autumn, 2018, pp.
