초록

Marco Millions is a satirical drama where the Oriental spiritualism and the Western Materialism are sharply compared and critically analyzed in the context of history and romance according to O'Neill's viewpoint on the difference between the East and the West. To Marco the hero the East is recognized as different from the West but different only as an inferior ‘alter-ego’ of the West. The biased materialism and one-sided superiority to the East inherent in his western mind makes him act in the Orient not as a foreigner but as an occupant and ironically this causes him more fatally to the unavoidable situation of otherness. He presents the Western view of life and value system, and thinks of himself as the center of the world, but from the Eastern point of view, he is no more than an other who exists at the edge of the world. He does not try to obtain anything else except riches while he is in China. Even if he thinks he takes hold of the world in his hand, he has lost his own spirituality and has not achieved anything but secular property. Because of his personal prejudice and pride as a Westerner, he avoids the chance of learning the supreme value of life but only confirms his own conditioned fate by placing himself as an other.

Abstract

Marco Millions is a satirical drama where the Oriental spiritualism and the Western Materialism are sharply compared and critically analyzed in the context of history and romance according to O'Neill's viewpoint on the difference between the East and the West. To Marco the hero the East is recognized as different from the West but different only as an inferior ‘alter-ego’ of the West. The biased materialism and one-sided superiority to the East inherent in his western mind makes him act in the Orient not as a foreigner but as an occupant and ironically this causes him more fatally to the unavoidable situation of otherness. He presents the Western view of life and value system, and thinks of himself as the center of the world, but from the Eastern point of view, he is no more than an other who exists at the edge of the world. He does not try to obtain anything else except riches while he is in China. Even if he thinks he takes hold of the world in his hand, he has lost his own spirituality and has not achieved anything but secular property. Because of his personal prejudice and pride as a Westerner, he avoids the chance of learning the supreme value of life but only confirms his own conditioned fate by placing himself as an other.
