  • 摘要:It is quite relevant to say something regarding Expressionism before going to browse the expressionistic vision prevailing in O’Neill’s dramas. The movement of Expressionism seems to have arisen as a kind of revolt against the mutual exclusiveness of romanticism and realism. It is a revolt, on the one hand, against the tendency of realism and naturalism and, on the other, against the tendency of realism or naturalism to satisfy itself with a scrupulous representation of the surfaces of life, the speech, manners, emotions and ideas of one or another class in society. The expressionists cry for a “real” reality. This reality indicates the inner world of thought and vision. They are profoundly interested in psychology and they celebrate the supremacy of spirit over matter. They deal with the subjective, with ‘inner’ realities of human mind. Man becomes a key figure in their works. The expressionists undertake the study of human passion in lieu of the history of persons and their achievements. In the words of N. S. Wilson: “it attempts, in a word, to dramatize the inner life of a man, to represent what is passing in his soul.”
