Abstract

The Dionysian spirit is the core of Friedrich Nietzsche’s aesthetics, the origin of western irrationalism and is regarded as the beginning of Greek tragic spirit by Nietzsche. Eugene O’Neil was one of the most intelligent modern playwright in America and had wrote many tragedies throughout his life. It could be found that many characters in his tragedies were the adapted according to the archetypes in Greek mythologies, and most of whom demonstrate obvious Dionysian spirit. Yank in The Hairy Ape is the typical example. Applying Nietzsche’s Dionysian spirit to analyze Yank’s spiritual tragic can further trace American people’s alienation in the environments, O’Neil’s creative philosophy and his tragic aesthetics.
《毛猿》中扬克的酒神精神研究
酒神精神是尼采美学的核心,是西方非理性主义的起源,被尼采视为希腊悲剧精神的开端。尤金·奥尼尔是美国最聪明的现代剧作家之一,一生创作了许多悲剧。我们可以发现,他的悲剧中的许多人物都是根据希腊神话中的原型改编而成的,其中大多数都表现出明显的酒神精神。《毛猿》中的扬克就是典型的例子。运用尼采的酒神精神来分析扬克的精神悲剧,可以进一步追溯美国人在环境中的异化,奥尼尔的创作哲学及其悲剧美学。
