In opera, music is the primary element, supported by the set and costumes. The set and costumes provide a visual interpretation of the music. In film, music and sound play a supporting role. Music and sound create an ambiance in films that aid in telling the story. I consider the musical to be an equal and reciprocal balance of music and vision. More importantly, a successful musical is defined by its plot, music, and visual elements, and how well they are integrated. Observing the transformation of the musical and analyzing many different genres of concert music, I realize that each new concept of transformation always blends traditional and contemporary elements, no matter how advanced the concept is or was at the time. Through my analysis of three musicals, I shed more light on where this ii transformation may be heading and what tradition may be replaced by a new concept, and vice versa.

  • A Rhetorical Analysis of Eugene O'neill's Strange Interlude
    This dissertation has been 61-4507 microfilmed exactly as received WINCHESTER, Otis William, 1933- A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF EUGENE O'NEILL'S STRANGE INTERLUDE. 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.
