THE HAIRY APE: EDITED BY J. SINGH

The Harry Ape is a bitter, wildly fantastic play of nightmare hue and nightmare distortion. O’Neill begins his fable by putting before us the greatest visible contrast in social and physical circumstance. O’Neill himself said that The Hairy Ape was propaganda in the sence that it was a symbol of man who has lost his old harmony with nature, the harmony which he used to have as an animal and has not yet acquired in a spiritual way. Thus an intellectual concept underlines. The Hairy Ape, a philosophy growing not out a single human situation but from certain deductions made by the dramatist about life and society. The play holds us by its tragic irony, its novelty, its underlying idea, its strange setting. The Hairy Ape is one of the great achievements of O’Neill. The hairy Ape is an extraordinary blend of weird fantasy and extreme realism. The present critical study seek to analyze and examine the multilayered text in all aspect to make it more accessible to students in our Universities.
