O'Neill is a serious dramatist, and his plays can be said to be the abuse of serious and experimental theater in the United States. He was talented and good at writing tragedies. "Ah. "Wilderness" is the only comedy in his plays. His personality is melancholy, his personal life is not satisfactory, and he has been displaced for a long time, so his outlook on life is more gloomy, and there are more melancholy, depressed and pessimistic elements in his works.

Once, he went to visit his alma mater and made a special trip to the student dormitory where he used to live to have a look. At this time, the male student in the dormitory just made an appointment with a female classmate and talked about love in the dormitory, which was against school rules, so the boy quickly hid the girl in the closet.

O'Neill and the Headmaster went to the old room, saw the layout of the house, and sighed: "The same table and chairs as before, the same bed." Then he walked over to the closet and opened it and said, "It's the same wardrobe as before." Opening the closet and seeing the blushing and embarrassed schoolgirl, he still said calmly, "The same girl as before." ”

The male student murmured, "Mr. O'Neill, that's my sister." ”

O'Neill smiled and said, "Oh, and the same lie as before." ”
