Abstract
This paper reviews the "The Iceman Cometh", a play by Eugene O?Neill that experiments with the painful side of emotional life about the different dreams that people aspire to achieve. It looks at how the play is rather simple and tells the stories about a group of men who are rather depressed with what life has to offer them. They sit around at the bar and live with the hope of making their dreams come true one day. The paper also provides a brief biography of Eugene O'Neill.
From the Paper
"The story is about how and why people manage to live in self denial and how one character called Hickey is challenged to drive them away from this noxious poison and bring them back to reality. The remaining Acts deal with the challenges and struggles that Hickey has to face in order to bring these people out of insanity. This creates suspense in the play too as each Act concludes with bringing that Act to a climax and ending it there. Each revelation in each Act tells us what Hickey plans to do with the harmony he wants to bring to everybody."

Abstract
This paper analyzes, compares and contrasts the theme's seen in Eugene O'Neill's "Iceman Cometh" and Richard Wright's "Native Son". The paper explains that both works contain a theme about radical politics even though the conclusions arrived at in each piece is different.
From the Paper
"O'Neill mentions The Movement very early to let readers know that this play is not only about individuals, but also political action groups, that have not successfully reached their goals in life. In act 1, Parritt says: "I hung around pool rooms and gambling joints and hooker shops, where they'd never look for a Wobblie, pretending I was a sport." Later in the same act, Harry Hope berates Slade: "Crazy is right! Yah! The old wise guy! Wise, hell! A damned old fool Anarchist I-Won't-Worker!" Later in act 1, Hope says again to Slade: "You bughouse I-Won't-Work harp, who asked you to shove in an oar?" Here again he is identifying and making fun of Slade's IWW past."
