Entry about Eugene O'Neill in the trial edition of Ci hai. He was referred as 'a well-known and prolific American playwright, his outstanding plays include Beyond the horizon, The emperor Jones, The hairy ape, and Strange interlude. These plays reflect various problems of American capitalist society, such as murder, poverty, power of money and racial prejudice. However, these plays are extremely pessimistic and despairing, full of decadent sentiments.
