| Abstract | |
This study analyzes and interprets the dramaturgies of Eugene O?Neill and Nelson Rodrigues from the standpoint of their expression of the modern tragic. Starting by placing the authors and their works on their historic background, relating their world views and their biographical trajectories, registering their literary influences and their esthetic filiations, as well as presenting a few theories of the modern tragic which cover relevant aspects of their production, this text approaches a series of theatrical plays that were considered more representatives of the thematic and formal cycles which constitute the works of the two playwrights. This thesis is composed by an introduction to the theme, two texts that have focus on the relations among life, works and the world view of the two dramatists, essays about eight Eugene O?Neill?s plays, essays about nine Nelson Rodrigues? plays and a final part speculating on the relations between the two authors.
