Abstract

This study attempts to explore the influence of F.Nietzsche’s concept of tragedy on Eugene O’Neill’s drama in general and in his major plays particularly from 1920-1956. The study concentrates on Nietzsche’s concept of the conflict between the Dionysian and the Apollinian elements as being the essence of tragedy and traces its influence on O’Neill’s dramatic vision and theatrical technique which reflect his dramatic world view. The selected plays to be analyzed are: The Emperor Jones (1920), The Hairy Ape (1921), Strange Interlude (1927), Mourning Becomes Electra (1931), The Iceman Cometh (1946), and Long Day’s Journey into Night (1956).
