Frases de Eugene O'Neill
página 2

Eugene Gladstone O'Neill foi um dramaturgo anarquista e socialista estadunidense. Recebeu o Nobel de Literatura de 1936 e o Prêmio Pulitzer por várias vezes.

Suas peças estão entre as primeiras a introduzir as técnicas do realismo influenciado principalmente por Anton Chekhov, Henrik Ibsen e August Strindberg. Sua dramaturgia envolve personagens que habitam as margens da sociedade, com seu comportamento desregrado, tentando manter inalcançáveis aspirações e esperanças do 'milagre norte-americano'. Tendo escrito apenas uma comédia, , todas as suas peças desenvolvem graus de tragédia pessoal e pessimismo. Sua dramaturgia influenciou reconhecidamente um importante dramaturgo brasileiro Nelson Rodrigues, além de uma de suas peças, a Imperador Jones , ter sido o ponto de partida do Teatro Experimental do Negro de Abdias do Nascimento.

Eugene O'Neill: Frases em inglês

“We'd be making sail in the dawn, with a fair breeze, singing a chanty song wid no care to it. And astern the land would be sinking low and dying out, but we'd give it no heed but a laugh, and never look behind. For the day that was, was enough, for we was free men — and I'm thinking 'tis only slaves do be giving heed to the day that's gone or the day to come — until they're old like me.”

N.Y. Herald Tribune (September 9, 1956)

“You seem to be going in for sincerity today. It isn't becoming to you, really — except as an obvious pose. Be as artificial as you are, I advise. There's a sort of sincerity in that, you know. And, after all, you must confess you like that better.”
