The author balances on the edge between modernism and post-modernism, and creates a unique style that is all his own. Using extensive set directions, and even micro-managing the appearance of the characters, O'Neill creates a visual world that is best described as realistic; his plots careen wildly from scene to scene, mixing continents, time periods, and characters into a blend that is confusing, exhilarating, and just plain kooky at times. Many of the plays would be difficult to perform in the modern world, with as many as 60 characters on stage in a single scene, and with extremely elaborate, detailed sets that switch quickly to other equally elaborate, detailed sets. As for plot, these plays were written in a time when science was just beginning to thrust aside tradition and religion, and the uneasiness with the new order erupts through every scene, as the author attempts to find some balance between a fusty old faith that feels comfortable, and a fearful new shiny, seemingly faceless and soulless modern scientific world. The fear of science and modernity seems to drive these plays at a frenetic pace, but at the same time, there appears to be some level of aversion to what came before. In short, a lot to think about.
