the author's life and plays. Gilbert Debusscher is the author who has written an interesting and significant study of Richardson's The Prodigal and Sartre's The Flies. The present dissertation is limited to the following objectives: 1. to determine Richardson's theory of histori- 11 cal evolution in terms of the theories of some well known philosophers and historians. 2. to demonstrate, citing historical events, that the same life cycle of growth and decay is present in the development of all civili- zations . 3. to compare the ancient and modern plays to determine the novelties introduced by Jack Richardson. 4. to verify that Richardson makes some allu- sions to modern American policy when he makes references to the war and its effects on civilians, soldiers and family life. 5. to confirm the author's view aboutthe philos- ophy of determinism in which man is im- pelled by political, social and emotional forces.
This study of Richardson's The Prodigal is com- posed of six chapters. The Introduction offers the essential biographical elements and commentaries about the author's life and works. It also includes the general lines which will guide the analysis of the play including comments about the author's theory of historical evolution, the reasons for a comparative study with Aeschylus' Oresteia, the hypothesis, objetives and the comparative metho<strong>do</strong>logy which will be applied in this research. In the second chapter, The Prodigal will be located within the Greek cosmovision according to the elements which are preserved and/or modified by the author in the modern play. The plot, the theme and the temporal and spatial structures of The Prodigal will be developed and analysed with some important references to Aeschylus' Oresteia. The third chapter will consist of general commentaries about the characters of the play but with a special analysis of Agamemnon, Aegisthus and Orestes, the representatives of the political orders in historical evolution. Electra, who represents the voice of the majority and Cassandra who has the power to foresee future events, also represent important points of reference. In the fourth chapter, the most important events 12
