Alienation and the loss of identity——the three periods of O'Neill's playwriting career

很多作家都密切关注自我身份,他们在作品中也涉及到寻求人的自我身份的这个主题。著名剧作家尤金·奥尼尔就是其中一个杰出的代表。他一直不知疲倦地探索,把毕生的精力都致力于困惑他以及他的同时期人的难题--自我身份。本文主要从尤金.奥尼尔创作的三个阶段来探寻异化与自我身份丧失的问题。

Many writers have shown great solicitude for the identity and reflected the theme of searching for man＇s identity in their works, among which Eugene Gladstone ONeill, a famous American playwright, is an outstanding representative figure. As his three playwriting periods attest, ONeill is a restless explorer whose concentration has never shifted away from the identity problem, which frustrates him as well as his contemporaries. This thesis tries to analyze the alienation and the loss of identity in the three periods of ONeill＇s playwriting career. ONeill has explored the theme of searching for identity, which will encourage the writers today to explore and find a suitable answer to the alienation and the loss of identity.
