尤金·奥尼尔有多部作品对母子关系作了细致入微的描写。他笔下的母子关系大多是畸形的,母子亲情关系中却总渗透着情欲之爱,由于违背伦理和道德,结果母子都不可避免的遭受悲剧命运的残酷惩罚。对母爱的向往和追求却使奥尼尔在最后一部作品中塑造了《月照不幸人》中乔茜这一角色,她与男主人公吉米超脱了情欲之爱,显现出了母性的光辉。 Eugene O’Neill has a number of works on the mother-child relationship made a nuanced description. The relationship between mother and son in his works is mostly abnormal. The relationship between mother and child is always permeated with the love of passion. Due to the violation of ethics and morality, both mother and child are inevitably cruelly punished by the tragic fate. Her longing for and pursuit of motherly love made O’Neal the role of Qiao Qian in “The Unlucky Moon” in her last work. She and her hero, Jimmy, escaped their passionate love and showed their motherhood.
