Conversation is an important aspect of communication in which people can transfer and express their thoughts and feelings. People need communication to interact with others. In conversation process, sometimes participants can do some violations that make the exchange irrelevant, obscure, repetitive or untrue for certain reasons. Based on Grice's Cooperative Principle (henceforth, CP), this research attempts to explore the types of the uncooperative principle in Harold Pinter's The Room. In achieving the aforementioned point, four violations of Grice's maxims are examined: The violation of quantity, quality, relevance and manner. Then, a thourough analysis and interpretation of Pinter's characters will be revealed. Via the analysis of the violations of Grice's maxims in Harold Pinter's (The Room), the study analyzes the extracts in which Pinter's characters violate these maxims dominantly and explains the reasons behind such violations.
