诚如许多同志所认为的那样,美国当代著名剧作家尤金·奥尼尔的创作对后来欧美各国荒诞派戏剧的发展有着极大的影响。但我们也不能因此而忽视这二者之间所存在着的明显的不同之处。如果运用“比较文学研究法”,对奥尼尔与荒诞派在剧作实践以及理论方面的异同进行一番比较,这将有利于我们对两者的认识评价。 As many comrades think, the creation of the famous American playwright Eugene O’Neill has a tremendous influence on the development of the absurd theatrical drama in later European and American countries. However, we should not therefore overlook the obvious differences that exist between the two. Comparing the similarities and differences between O’Neill and the Absurd in drama practice and theory will help us to evaluate our understanding of both.
