1. Discuss Eugene O’Neill’s contribution to modern American Drama.

Eugene O'Neill is widely regarded as one of the most significant and influential playwrights in the history of American drama. He was a master of the art form, creating deeply personal works that explored the human condition with a depth and complexity rarely seen before. His contributions to modern American drama were many and varied, and continue to shape the way we think about theater and storytelling today. Eugene O'Neill's childhood was marked by a series of traumatic events that would have a profound impact on his writing. 

His mother, Mary Ellen Quinlan, was a talented pianist and writer who had a deep love of literature and the arts. However, she suffered from a debilitating addiction to morphine, which ultimately led to her death when O'Neill was just eleven years old. Her death had a profound effect on O'Neill, leaving him with a sense of loss and grief that would stay with him for the rest of his life.
