INVESTIGATING STEREOTYPES IN THE PORTRAYAL OF COMMUNITY DIVIDES IN EUGENE O’NEILL’S DRAMA

Summary/Abstract: My paper will investigate the use of stereotypes in Eugene O’Neill’s drama, focusing on the representation of African American and Irish characters. I will discuss various critical views that form a debate around the realistic representation of such characters and the purposes for which such marginal figures appear as they do. Additionally I will address the issue of community divides and the struggle for integration of the minority groups promoted through dramatic discourse as well as by performance artists.
