Eugene O’Neill revolutionized American drama by introducing realism and exploring themes of despair and disillusionment in his works. With a distinctive use of American English vernacular, his plays, such as “Long Day’s Journey into Night,” delved into the struggles of characters on society’s fringes. O’Neill’s impactful legacy includes multiple Pulitzer Prizes for Drama and the honor of being the only playwright to win four Pulitzers. He was also recognized with the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1936.
