Cho, Yongjae. “An Approach to Othello and All God’s Chillun Got Wings from the Point of View, ‘Force behind’.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 41.3 (2015): 85-104. The core themes in William Shakespeare’s Othello and Eugene O’Neill’s All God’s Chillun Got Wings are Othello’s and Jim’s alienation as a black, and their marriage between black and white, untolerated by society, for them to recover it, and their hope to belong to the Venice or the white society. ‘Force behind’ is Fate, our biological past creating our present, and Mystery. In Othello the root of ‘Force behind’ is shown as an untolerated marriage between Othello and Desdemona, and done through Iago, and realized by a handkerchief(napkin), and the liberation from the Force is achieved through Othello’s strangling Desdemona and his suicide and Iago’s execution. And in All God’s Chillun Got Wings the root of ‘Force behind’ is shown as an untolerated marriage between Jim and Ella, and done through Mrs. Harris, Hattie, and Ella, and realized by a Congo mask, and the liberation from the Force is achieved through Ella’s murdering the mask and both Jim’s and Ella’s regression to their childhood without racial discrimination. ‘Force behind,’ in appearance, seems a disrupter that brings about discrimination, rejection, confrontation, negation, alienation, disappointment, and death, but it, in reality, is a helper that gives equality, acceptance, reconciliation, affirmation, belongingness, hope, and salvation to us. Shakespeare and O’Neill show such an important theme as ‘Force behind’ in Othello and All God’s Chillun Got Wings. (Wonkwang University)
