O'Neill and the Impossibility of Faith

In Eugene O'Neill's less successful plays, religion and man's* cosmic place are discussed by his characters in long discursive speeches and with brutally overt symbols to imbue with significance the frequently melodramatic action. In later, more critically acclaimed plays O'Neill...
