Tall men, much older than their halfbrother [Simeon is thirty-nine and Peter thirty-seven].
Farm worker.
They clump heavily along in their clumsy thick-soled boots caked with earth.
"Founder of the American drama"
Born in New York on October 16, 1888 into a theatrical family
Received university education for one year and later traveled all over the world
His defiant, dark eyes remind one of a wild animal's in captivity.
Dressed in rough farm clothes.
3.Analysis of major characters
Seventy-five, tall and gaunt, with great, wiry, concentrated power, but stoop-shouldered from toil.
(1) He introduced the realistic or even the naturalistic aspect of life into the American theater.
(2) He borrowed freely from modern literary techniques such as the stream-of -consciousness device with the help of which he managed to reveal the emotional and psychological complexities of modern man.
incestuous love result in the fatal tragedy in Desire Under the Elms.
4.The theme of the drama
Desire for wealth makes people lose balance of a healthy mind
Her round face is pretty but marred by its rather gross sensuality.
There is strength and obstinacy in her jaw, a hard determination in her eyes, and about her whole personality the same unsettled, untamed, desperate quality which is so apparent in Eben.
Achievements in symbolic expressionism:
The Iceman Cometh送冰人来了 (1946) Long Day's Journey Into Night长夜漫漫路迢 迢 (1956)
The Emperor Jones琼斯皇(1920), The Hairy Ape 毛猿 (1922), All God's Chillun Got Wings 上帝的儿女都有翅膀(1924), and Desire Under the Elms榆树下的欲望(1924)

4.The theme of the drama
It also drove Abbie to marry Cabot, a rather old man, so that she can get Cabot’s property. It is from her desire that all the tragedy begin.
(3) As to his language, O'Neill frequently wrote the lines in dialect, or spelled words in ways which indicate a particular accent or manner of speech.
Even an unrelated person like the sheriff desired to possess the farm! He says, “It’s a jim-dandy farm, no denyin’. Wished I owned it!”
It is funny, but there lies something not so lighthearted behind it. The bitterness and sarcasm can be sensed by sensitive readers. That is, it is human nature to desire for wealth.
