Eugene O'Neill
Eugene Gladstone O'Neill is an American playwright and Nobel Prize winner for Literature. His poetic-titled plays were among the first to introduce realism techniques previously associated with Russian playwright Anton Chekhov, Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen and Swedish playwright. August Strindberg entered the American theater. Tragedy Long Day's Night Journey often ranks as a shortlist of the best American plays of the 20th century, alongside Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire and Arthur Miller's Death by a Vendor . O'Neill's plays were among the first to include speeches in English by Americans and involve characters on the sidelines of society. They struggled to maintain their hopes and aspirations, but ended up falling into disillusionment and despair. Out of his very rare comedies, only one is known. Almost all of his other plays involve personal tragedy and some degree of pessimism.
