O’Neill’s inventiveness seemingly knew no limits .He was constantly experimenting with new styles and forms for his plays , especially during the twenties when expressionism was in full swing. Once he used just a single actor, alone on the stage, in his one-act play. In those expressionistic plays, abstract and symbolic stage sets are used to set off against the emotional inner selves and subjective states of mind; lighting and music are employed to convey the changes of mood. As to his language, O’Neill frequently wrote the lines in dialect, or spelled words in ways which indicate a particular accent or manner of speech. This, sometimes, makes his plays difficult to read, but when they are spoken aloud, the sense becomes clear and the meaning is amplified by the accent.
