Dionysian Quest and The Hairy Ape
손경환 한국현대영어영문학회 2004 현대영어영문학 Vol.48 No.1
This paper studies Eugene O'Neill's The Hairy Ape in the light of Nietzsche's Dionysian value. O'Neill acknowledged that the death of God threatened human life with the loss of significance as Nietzsche. Confronted with the possibility of such a loss, he sought to return the Dionysian force instead of religion. In this play, O'Neill traces his Dionysian quest to the essential matters associated with the sense of belonging and life-related problems by which the modern people are generally confronted. In accord with Nietzsche's view, O'Neill's pursuit of Dionysian value is not by appealing to disharmony, Christian God, materialism and civilization named of modernity but harmony, Greek spirit, nature and humanity. The hero, Yank, tries to realize all things of human problems and struggles to get a hopeful answer from the cruel reality. Although the hero is doomed to be defeated in the struggle, he ought to fight in order to triumph over his fate. As if it brings physical death like Yank, it also brings spiritual exaltation through Dionysian quest.
