His characters struggled with existential problems, and how they related to them reveals much about O'Neill's own humanity. For the most part, the characters defeat their problems and in doing so are \"reborn\" in some manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This work examines the 49 plays that O'Neill completed, focusing on his attempt to find an inner truth in his characters. Part One explores the family, showing how a person is trapped by heredity, space, time and communal hierarchy. Part Two deals with the individual and society, showing how societal conventions confined the characters. In Part Three, personal freedom is the centerpiece, showing how the characters develop a specific approach to life that leads to a coherent vision of the characters' relationships with the world around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thierry Dubost\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786424192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786424191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.24h x 5.60w x 0.66d","brand":"Thierry Dubost","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483681829119,"sku":"9780786424191","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8b9f6cb0-18c7-48c3-92f5-e23aabf69ece.jpg?v=1778039974","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/struggle-defeat-or-rebirth-thierry-dubost-9780786424191","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
