Eugene O'Neill created a series of experimental dramas in the 1920s,and Desire Under the Elms is his bold dramatic experiment both in terms of its content and its staging.Bakhtin excludes drama from dialogical works,recognizing only medieval religious mystery plays as formally dialogical works.O'Neill sketched the stage of Desire Under the Elms himself and brought it to life with the help of the renowned American stage designer Robert Edmond Jones.He breaks through Bakhtin's assertion by drawing on the multiple and simultaneous settings of the mystery plays,endowing the play with a formally dialogical quality,and by using stagecraft to present the play's dialogical thoughts.The article sketches the inner connection between formal dialogue and ideological dialogue from three aspects:simultaneous,opposite,and symbolic.At the same time,it analyzes the unfinished nature of the play's formal and ideological dialogues in historical context.
