Answer 1

Answer:

In the 1920s writers and poets wrote about various subjects and used a variety of styles to express their thoughts. American playwright, Eugene O'Neill, wrote plays that offered a modern view of life, while novelist, Ernest Hemingway, wrote of his disillusionment with World War I.

Explanation:

Eugene O'Neill's dramaturgy involves characters who inhabit the margins of society, with their unruly behavior, trying to maintain unreachable aspirations and hopes of the 'American miracle'. Even so, O'Neill tried to capture the feeling of hope. On the other hand, Ernest Hemingway worked as a war correspondent in Miami during the Spanish Civil War, which gave him the worst view about human behavior.
