“在奥尼尔之前,美国只有剧场,在奥尼尔之后,美国才有戏剧。”美国文艺批评家的评述表明了尤金·奥尼尔在美国戏剧史上的独特地位。《榆树下的欲望》写于1924年,是美国戏剧史上“第一部伟大的悲剧”,被认为是尤金·奥尼尔悲剧创作的最高成就。这部戏剧作品描写的是1850年美国东北部新英格兰农庄发生的一个父子俩与继母之间的悲剧性故事,是一部深刻的根源于物质欲望的情欲悲剧。该剧将人类的物质欲望与情感欲望交织在一起,呈现了人物之间非理性物欲与情欲的精彩博弈。
“Before O’Neill, there was only a theater in the United States and theater in the United States after O’Neill.” The commentary of American literary critics shows Eugene O’Neill’s unique position in the history of American theater. The Desire Under the Elms, written in 1924, is the “first great tragedy” in the history of American theater and is considered the supreme achievement of Eugene O’Neill’s tragedy. This dramatic piece depicts the tragic story of a father and son and stepmother in a farm in New England in the northeastern United States of 1850 as a tragedy of erotic lurks rooted in material desires. The drama intertwined the human material desires and emotional desires, presenting a wonderful game of irrational material desire and passion between characters.
