ABSTRACT:

This study is distinctively restricted to  Yank as an alienated character in Eugene O’Neill’s “The Hairy Ape”. It aims to simplify studying and reading this character as well as to introduce a comprehensive view of such type of character. This study reflects that Yank suffers a tragic end due to his illusion, obsession and alienation. It also shows the character simply and how the plot minimizes the situations in the course of the play. The representation of this character in modern time has been changed and it has been humanistic and symbolic concerns.
