Gore Assistant Professor and Head, Dept.of English Toshniwal College, Sengaon, Dist-Hingoli Abstract: Expressionism is a term first used by painter Julian Auguste Harve in 1901, while trying to distinguish his paintings from Impressionism. Expressionist movement in art was initiated in Germany in early 20th century under the influence of Swedish Playwright Strindberg. It was at its height between 1910-1925, just before, during and after the World War-I. In America, Expressionism made a strong impact on the plays of Eugene O'Neill such as ' The Emperor Jones (19221), The Hairy Ape (1922) and The Great God Brown (1926). The Hairy ape is the first expressionist play in America. The Hairy Ape is an expressionist play by Eugene O’Neil about a brutish, unthinking laborer known as Yank as he searches for a sense of belonging in world controlled by the rich. Keywords: Expressionism, Impressionism, brutish, unthinking, laborer, belonging. Eugene O'Neill is an eminent playwright of the 20th century American drama. He is not only the creator of the serious American drama, but he ranks with the greatest European dramatists of the 20th century.

Such attacks are supported by references to our over-use of sordidity, to the infatuation with the psychological theme and the use of characters who are emotionally and mentally disturbed, and to the absence of any element of the heroic which is normally acknowledged to be an integral portion of meaningful drama.

  • Eugene O*Neill
    Eugene O’Neill American Playwright, 1888-1953 Eugene Gladstone O'Neill (October 16, 1888 – November 27, 1953) was an American playwright and Nobel laureate in Literature. His poetically titled plays were among the first to introduce into American drama techniques of realism earlier associated with Russian playwright Anton Chekhov, Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, and Swedish playwright August Strindberg. His plays were among the first to include speeches in American vernacular and involve characters on the fringes of society, where they struggle to maintain their hopes and aspirations, but ultimately slide into disillusionment and despair. O'Neill wrote only one well-known comedy (Ah, Wilderness!).[1][2] Nearly all of his other plays involve some degree of tragedy and personal pessimism (Wikipedia, November 5, 2012) Family Life O’Neill in 1893 On the beach with first wife and Eugene O’Neill, Jr. Agnes Boulton, Eugene Jr, Eugene O’Neill in happier times Major works 1914-1920 The 1920s Bread and Butter, 1914 Diff'rent, 1921 Servitude, 1914 The First Man, 1922 The Personal Equation, 1915 The Hairy Ape, 1922 Now I Ask You, 1916 The Fountain, 1923 Beyond the Horizon, 1918 Marco Millions, 1923–25 - Pulitzer Prize, 1920 All God's Chillun Got Wings, 1924 The Straw, 1919 Welded, 1924 Chris Christophersen, 1919 Desire Under the Elms, 1925 Gold, 1920 Lazarus Laughed, 1925–26 Anna Christie, 1920 The Great God Brown, 1926 - Pulitzer Prize, 1922 Strange Interlude, 1928 The Emperor Jones, 1920 - Pulitzer Prize Dynamo, 1929 Major works 1931-1953 Mourning

  • ANALYSIS the Iceman Cometh
    ANALYSIS The Iceman Cometh (1946) Eugene O’Neill (1888-1953) “The exceptionally long and painful play he wrote in 1939, The Iceman Cometh is perhaps the most relentlessly depressing drama written by any modern playwright. The Iceman Cometh refuted a belief that its author had become reconciled with the Catholic faith of his childhood—a belief which had gained some currency after the presentation of his earlier play Days Without End (1933).” John Gassner A Treasury of the Theatre: From Henrik Ibsen to Arthur Miller (Simon & Schuster 1935-57) 788 “[In] 1946…The Iceman Cometh was presented by the Theater Guild. This long and somewhat grotesque tragedy has as its theme the attempt of a dipsomaniac to free himself from his last hopes and last illusions. It is less appealing than either Strange Interlude or Mourning Becomes Electra, but it exhibits much of the same tragic power.” Joseph Wood Krutch Literary History of the United States, 3rd edition (Macmillan 1946-63) 1249 “The Iceman Cometh was almost as much of a new departure for O’Neill as Long Day’s Journey, and it is equally the end of a long day’s journey for the author. It marks the end of his voyagings after new forms and a ‘theatre of tomorrow.’ Here, finally, O’Neill settles for the theater of yesterday. The form of The Iceman is conservative and contains nothing that would have surprised his father. The…rejection of realism is itself rejected. We are back with the kind of theater of low life which Gorky envisaged for his Lower Depths.

In this way came the first division of plays; they were either tragedies or comedies according to the viewpoint of the author. If life were a sublime struggle, the plays were lofty in tone; if life were a ridi­ culous, amusing experience, the plays were crude, sometimes coarse, and often exaggerated beyond mere buffoonery.
