Winner of four Pulitzer Prizes and the first American dramatist to receive a Nobel Prize, Eugene O'Neill filled his plays with rich characterization and innovative language, taking the outcasts and renegades of society and depicting their Olympian struggles with themselves-and with destiny.
The playwright’s first full-length drama and winner of the Pulitzer Prize (1920) concerns two brothers in love with the same woman. Robert Mayo, who had dreamed of adventure "beyond the horizon," remains behind and weds the lady in question, while his brother, Andrew, goes to sea. In the end, embittered and dying, Robert dreams of the escape that lies "beyond the horizon."
