more This paper compares and contrasts two plays written by O' Neill at the beginning of the 20th century.
As one of the greatest playwrights of the US, Eugene O' Neill was able to create some of the most astonishing pieces of dramatic literature, two of which are described in this (short) essay; primarily, the two works are called "Long Day's Journey into Night" and "Desire under the Elms".
The Absent Character is a very important figure in modern American drama.
It is employed as a means to reinforce the plot and to catalyze the actions of the play.
By crossing the boundaries of theatrical illusion, they display their eagerness to take over the playwright's work in order to make it their own.
This process of interpretative emancipation on the part of the troupe appears in its turn to be a source of empowerment for the members of the audience, who, because the distancing effects break the theatrical illusion, are invited to adopt an active writerly part in the creative process and thus to take on the responsibility of interpreting the work for themselves.This paper will juxtapose and present (dis)similarities between the Tyrone family and the Caborts.The paper will analyse the use and abuse of drugs and alcohol in the firstly-mentioned drama, as well as the dysfunctional relations between the family members.The process of knowing the role in the society is called self-actualization. Another form of literature, in a play, The Hairy Ape by Eugene O’Neill also talks about identity crisis.In this essay, it will be explored further by seeing from the perspective of psychoanalysis.Abstract This paper is a study of The Wooster Group's staging of identity-related tensions in Eugene KEYWORDS The Wooster Group; theatrical and social representation; boundaries of illusions; race and gender crossing; spectatorial empowerment.PALABRAS CLAVE The Wooster Group; representación teatral y social; fronteras de las ilusiones;...» The Wooster Group met en avant le caractère artificiel des conventions sociales qui opposent le féminin au masculin, les blancs aux noirs, en subvertissant les codes de représentation.La compagnie se joue alors des signifiants et des symboles et crée une « esthétique de résistance » ouvrant des perspectives sur une possible reconfiguration des identités par-delà le système binaire normatif.In the social life, the sense of identity plays an important part.In addressing someone, people need to categorize him based on his role in the society.
