Man’s Struggles of Fate by the Curse of Birth in Eugene ONeills A Lon

Mans Struggles of Fate by the Curse of cede in Eugene ONeills A Long Days travel into Night Eugene ONeills A Long Days Journey into Night deals with tragedy and its attendant focus on character rather than plot. Another fury on the play is on the past that ceases to haunt his characters. ONeills characters of A Long Days Journey into Night trial with the past. These characters all renderm to agree with Mary Tyrone who claims that a person providet help being what the past made him (Baym 1313). The fact that a character can contest with his or her past suggests that the past is something rude to question, changeable, and perhaps even unknowable. Patricia Schroeder says The past as it invades the present or as individual characters interpret it had little currency on the formally practical stage (Schroeder 30). ONeills characters of A Long Days Journey into Night reveal the ongoing past gradually and unceasingly by dint ofout the play. As one reads the play, he o r she can see ONeill deal with his own past through these characters. For Eugene ONeill, in that respect is exclusively one real subject for drama The subject here is the same ancient one that always and always will be the one subject for drama, and that is mans peel with his own fate. The struggle used to be with the gods, but it is now with himself, his own past. Implicit in this statement are a number of ONeills key principles in this play and his own life. ONeill embeds principles of Greek tragedy indoors a naturalistic play and so fully realizes his lifelong object of dramatizing man and this struggle with himself, his own past (Schroeder 30). In this play it is, indeed, the struggle to understand the formative past that s... ...less present of the Tyrones. ONeill not only challenged the distinction between the past and present, he also broke work through the barrier between stage and spectator that had been erected along with the proscenium crook. The mans strug gle with self, fate and the past is a harsh theme among many modernist writers. Through ONeills experimentation of eliciting an stirred response through his realistic settings and characters, we learn more about the prevalent man. We all struggle with our pasts and our place in this world. At least through works like A Long Days Journey into Night we know that we are not alone in having a dysfunctional family with problems and conflicts. We all have problems, struggles and fears. These elements are just a role of life. Life is taking our past and learning from it so that we can pull round our present and prepare for a future.
