He viewed life not from the level between man and man but from the level between man and god.
3. Individuals portrayed in the story "Desire under the Elms" are characterized as the cause of tragedy because of material desire. Reflecting the present day's various moral, philosophical and psychological aspects, Abbie is conscious of fate, god's own mysterious powers of biological impulse and is described as the source of this power. That is to say that self-destructive fighting is the theme reflecting the current age.
4. In the "Mourning Becomes Electra" the family of Mannon experiences psychological pressures. Especially, Orin develops an oedipus complex towards Christine and Livinia also develops and electra complex towards Adam Brant. As she watches the death of Mannon, she coldly claims the justice of society and pursues the egocentric happiness. Lavinia demonstrates the inflexibility of her will power in this play.
