论奥尼尔的表现主义艺术

ON EUGENE O'NEILL'S ARTISTIC STYLE OF EXPRESSIONISM

描写人和自己的斗争,表现人的内在的心理上的命运是尤金·奥尼尔戏剧的重要主题。奥尼尔借鉴和吸收表现主义戏剧艺术,运用象征、面具、音响、舞台布景等诸多艺术手段具体地、形象地表现人物的内心活动,展示其深刻的内心体验和复杂的心理。

One of the most important themes of Eugene O' Neill' s plays is to reveal people' s psychological fate through the description of the struggle between people and themselves. By employing expressionistic style of art, Eugene O'Neill describes people's mental activities vividly and specifically and reveals their inner experiences and complicated psychology through the use of various artistic methods such as symbols, masks, music and scenic settings.
