Abstract

Eugene O’Neill is the greatest American playwright in the 20th century. He led the modern U.S theater into the mainstream of the world drama and was the father of American drama. Some critics hold that Orientalism is one of the most important and distinctive aspects of O’ Neill’s art. Among the Oriental thoughts, Taoist influence on him was profoundest and lasting. This thesis studies O’Neill and Taoism systematically and extensively. His late plays are the climax of his Taoism which is his ultimate pursuit of his faith and arts. O’Neill affirms the Taoist principles of “Non-action” and “Cycle” by the theme of pipe dream. By reading these plays in his late periods, it analyzes the general trend of O’Neill’s Taoist ideas. It puts forward and proves that the great influence of the Tao of Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu on the O’Neill’s plays. The Tao is the ultimate pursuit of O’Neill’s attitude towards life, way of life and faith.
