This book demonstrates Eugene O’Neill’s use of philosophy in the early period of his work and provides analyses of selected works from that era, concluding with The Hairy Ape, completed in 1921, as an illustration of the mastery he had achieved in dramatizing key concepts of philosophy. Analyses of one-act and full-length plays from 1913 to 1921 reveal the influence of the three philosophers and establish that O’Neill was fundamentally a philosophic playwright, even from his earliest dramatic sketches. Specific concepts from Schopenhauer, Stirner, and Nietzsche went into O’Neill’s shaping of character arcs, dramatic circumstances, symbology, and theme. Among them are Schopenhauer’s concept of will and representation, Stirner’s notion of possession, and Nietzsche’s principle of the Apollonian–Dionysian duality. These ideas were foundational to O’Neill’s construction of tragic irony apparent in his early period plays. The critical concepts of these three philosophers are the major pathways in this study. However, such an approach inevitably reveals other layers of spiritual influence, such as Catholicism and Eastern philosophy, which are touched on in these analyses. This book is a much-needed introduction to philosophic concepts in Eugene O’Neill’s early work and would be of great interest to students and scholars in theatre studies and philosophy.

Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1, University of Gdansk, language: English, abstract: The relations between the characters in Desire Under the Elms and Long Day’s Journey into Night provide an extensive opportunity to analyze the characters’ personalities, because only in such relationships do they present their most personal features. The framework of a relation with other character on the stage allows to express their own views and feelings, which gives the opportunity to the readers/viewers to understand their motives. The construction of the characters is based on the context of their relationships, and the relations between the spouses, and between the parents and their children were the subject of an analysis in this dissertation. The comparison of Desire and Long Day’s Journey showed that although both plays are dealing with similar topics of family relations, there is a visible change in the author’s attitude to the topic. While Desire already has some elements of the author’s autobiography, it still remains a naturalistic play, focused on the theme of possession and desires to achieve it. Whereas Long Day’s Journey is a very psychologically profound play in which O’Neill managed not only to confront his own personal demons, but also presented a universal picture of a family with all its intricate problems, mutual dependencies and feelings of love and hate. Therefore, the comparison of the two plays proves the author’s maturity and development as an artist, as well as presents the influences which shaped him in the given time [...]

Through a close re-examination of Eugene O’Neill’s oeuvre, from minor plays to his Pulitzer-winning works, this study proposes that O’Neill’s vision of tragedy privileges a particular emotional response over a more “rational” one among his audience members. In addition to offering a new paradigm through which to interpret O’Neill’s work, this book argues that O’Neill’s theory of tragedy is a robust account of the value of difficult theatre as a whole, with more explanatory scope and power than its cognitivist counterparts. This paradigm reshapes our understanding of live theatrical tragedy’s impact and significance for our lives. The book enters the discussion of tragic value by way of the plays of Eugene O’Neill, and through this study, Killian makes the case that O’Neill has refused to allow Plato to define the terms of tragedy’s merit, as the cognitivists have. He argues that O’Neill’s theory of tragedy is non-cognitive and locates the value of a play in its ability to trigger certain emotional responses from the audience. This would be of great interest to students and scholars of performance studies, literature and philosophy.

This study attempts to trace Eugene O'Neill's theatrical contour from its origin to its end, by discussing each of his works in the approximate chronological order of composition. The book is thus a form of biography, although it pays no heed to those events of O'Neill's life that did not have direct bearing on his professional career. By virtue of O'Neill's central position in the drama of the modern world, this study also has become, within the limits its subject sets for it, a form of theatrical history. An appendix contains a complete factual record of important productions of O'Neill's plays. ISBN 0-19-504548-3 (pbk.): $12.95.
