Strange Interlude is a famous play by the world-renown American dramatist Eugene O＇Neill, who claimed it to be his ＂woman play,＂ despite the fact that men outnumber women in it. The solitary and beautiful, upright and demonic heroine, Nina, suc- cessfully dealt with and manipulated many men in her life, presenting to us a life revelation on life dilemma and difficulty a woman was confronted with in the patriarchal society. She rebelled bravely against the patriarchal father, longed for genuine love, despised materi- alism, and scientism. Nina＇ s story is an embodiment of the dramatist＇ s deep concern with women＇ s situation, the relationship of the two sexes, and the human society as well.
