The Life of Eugene O'Neill

Born in the year 1888 on October the sixteenth, Eugene Gladstone O’Neill proved to be one of the most creative playwrights of the twentieth century. He was a man, who suffered from a troubled childhood, who I guess one might consider was living his life in search of an identity. Needless to say, he found his true passion in life after becoming a playwright in the early 1900’s. By the time his career and life began to run out of time, he had already accomplished many goals that others could only wish that they had accomplished themselves. Through all of the hardships that life threw in his face, O’Neill was able to overcome the hardships and secure his place as one of the most successful playwrights that have touched foot on American soil.
As mentioned earlier, O’Neill was born on October 16, 1888 in the large city of New York. As he soon learned, being born into an Irish-Catholic family that was raised through the theatre industry was no fun at all. His parents were the great actor, James O’Neill and Ella O’Neill, a morphine addict.
