  • The Influence of Psychoanalysis Theory on Eugene O'neill
    IRWLE Vol. 9 No. II July 2013 1 The Influence of Psychoanalysis Theory on Eugene O’Neill Sabareen Fathima "Eugene O’Neill is one - and the most important one - of the dramatists who have made present - day tragedy possible. Without him contemporary tragedy would be virtually abandoned, deprived of force and impetus, of polemic discussions and models of realities"(Alfonso 98). In the shadow of O’Neill, tragedy had a stronghold despite the repressive presence of apathetic and phlegmatic society. Sastre Alphonso iterates that"iIn the shadow of Eugene O’Neill, it is possible to write a tragedy in today's world (98). Though born into an Irish Catholic family, O’Neill (1888-1953) grew up in a world of unsolicited free will, courtesy his parents who extensively travelled, emanating a sense of solitude within the child, who every time craved for his mother's affection. He was then sent to an ascetic world, where children were rigorously governed by nuns and priests. The sense of intimacy towards his family, lead to cultivate a tendency within O’Neill, that was ought to be subjective and idiosyncratic. Black is very frank about the fact that though "Unconformity seemed to hold Eugene back, nevertheless, it was always tolerated. Long before he could have known in any disciplined way what knowledge is, he had the cast of mind that might suit a future psychoanalyst or a philosophical skeptic or a poet." (60) The larger themes of O'Neill's work, their intensity and robustness, find magnificent reflection in the architectonic and well-pitched anatomy of his dramas.

  • O'neill's Queer Interlude: Epicene Excess and Camp Pleasures
    Fall 1997 3 O'Neill's Queer Interlude: Epicene Excess and Camp Pleasures Robert F. Gross I JUDITH: I think I shall revive "Love's Whirlwind." SOREL: (collapsing on to the sofa): Oh, Mother! (She gurgles with laughter.) I • •] JUDITH: You mustn't say too much against it, Sorel. I'm willing to laugh at it a little myself, but, after all, it was one of my greatest successes. SOREL: Oh, it's appalling—but I love it. It makes me laugh. JUDITH: The public love it too, and it doesn't make them laugh—much.1 Over the decades, Strange Interlude has become the scandal of the O'Neill canon. The 1963 Actors Studio revival left critic Robert Brustein "shaking with suppressed rage, four days after the event," at what "may be the worst play ever written by a major dramatist."2 Richard Gilman heaped scorn upon its "quarter-baked Strindberg, tenth-rate Freud"3 and denounced it as: the most atrociously ill-written and ill-conceived play of our time, the falsest 'masterpiece' in the theatre, as very likely the worst play that has ever been written by a dramatist with a reputation.4 Such extreme vituperation is not common, but there is more than enough of it to make one wonder how Strange Interlude has come to draw such ire, when other plays by O'Neill which are at least as weak in intellectual argument, dramatic structure and style—77z^ Fountain, Lazarus Laughed, Marco Millions or Dynamo, to name only a few—have failed to draw similar rage from critics.

The University of Oklahoma, Ph.D., 1961 Speech-Theater University Microfilms, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA GRADUATE COLLEGE A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF EUGENE O'NEILL'S STRANGE INTERLUDE A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE ŒADUATE FACULTY in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY OTIS WILLIAM WINCHESTER Tulsa, Oklahoma 1961 A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF EUGENE O'NEILL'S STRANGE INTERLUDE APPROVEDB^ DISSERTATION COMMITTEE PREFACE Rhetoric, a philosophy of discourse and a body of theory for the management of special types of discourse, has been variously defined. Basic to any valid definition is the concept of persuasion. The descrip­ tion of persuasive techniques and evaluation of their effectiveness is the province of rhetorical criticism. Drama is, in part at least, a rhe­ torical enterprise. Chapter I of this study establishes a theoretical basis for the rhetorical analysis of drama. The central chapters con­ sider Eugene O'Neill's Strange Interlude in light of the rhetorical im­ plications of intent, content, and form. Chapter II deals principally with O'Neill's status as a rhetor. It asks, what are the evidences of a rhetorical purpose in his life and plays? Why is Strange Interlude an especially significant example of O'Neill's rhetoric? The intellectual content of Strange Interlude is the matter of Chapter III. What ideas does the play contain? To what extent is the play a transcript of con­ temporary thought? Could it have potentially influenced the times? Chapter IV is concerned with the specific manner in which Strange Interlude was used as a vehicle for the ideas.

  • Two Tendencies Beyond Realism in Arthur Miller's Dramatic Works
    Inês Evangelista Marques 2º Ciclo de Estudos em Estudos Anglo-Americanos, variante de Literaturas e Culturas The Intimate and the Epic: Two Tendencies beyond Realism in Arthur Miller’s Dramatic Works A critical study of Death of a Salesman, A View from the Bridge, After the Fall and The American Clock 2013 Orientador: Professor Doutor Rui Carvalho Homem Coorientador: Professor Doutor Carlos Azevedo Classificação: Ciclo de estudos: Dissertação/relatório/Projeto/IPP: Versão definitiva 2 Abstract Almost 65 years after the successful Broadway run of Death of a Salesman, Arthur Miller is still deemed one of the most consistent and influential playwrights of the American dramatic canon. Even if his later plays proved less popular than the early classics, Miller’s dramatic output has received regular critical attention, while his long and eventful life keeps arousing the biographers’ curiosity. However, most of the academic works on Miller’s dramatic texts are much too anchored on a thematic perspective: they study the plays as deconstructions of the American Dream, as a rebuke of McCarthyism or any kind of political persecution, as reflections on the concepts of collective guilt and denial in relation to traumatizing events, such as the Great Depression or the Holocaust. Especially within the Anglo-American critical tradition, Miller’s plays are rarely studied as dramatic objects whose performative nature implies a certain range of formal specificities. Neither are they seen as part of the 20th century dramatic and theatrical attempts to overcome the canons of Realism. In this dissertation, I intend, first of all, to frame Miller’s dramatic output within the American dramatic tradition.

A Letter from the President Dear Subscriber: Take a look at the “New Plays” section of this year’s catalogue. You’ll find plays by former Pulitzer and Tony winners: JUNK, Ayad Akhtar’s fiercely intelligent look at Wall Street shenanigans; Bruce Norris’s 18th century satire THE LOW ROAD; John Patrick Shanley’s hilarious and profane comedy THE PORTUGUESE KID. You’ll find plays by veteran DPS playwrights: Eve Ensler’s devastating monologue about her real-life cancer diagnosis, IN THE BODY OF THE WORLD; Jeffrey Sweet’s KUNSTLER, his look at the radical ’60s lawyer William Kunstler; Beau Willimon’s contemporary Washington comedy THE PARISIAN WOMAN; UNTIL THE FLOOD, Dael Orlandersmith’s clear-eyed examination of the events in Ferguson, Missouri; RELATIVITY, Mark St. Germain’s play about a little-known event in the life of Einstein. But you’ll also find plays by very new playwrights, some of whom have never been published before: Jiréh Breon Holder’s TOO HEAVY FOR YOUR POCKET, set during the early years of the civil rights movement, shows the complexity of choosing to fight for one’s beliefs or protect one’s family; Chisa Hutchinson’s SOMEBODY’S DAUGHTER deals with the gendered differences and difficulties in coming of age as an Asian-American girl; Melinda Lopez’s MALA, a wry dramatic monologue from a woman with an aging parent; Caroline V.
