Emperor Jones 2

Eugine O'Neill boldly ventures out of the mold and stereotype of the black man in his novel. He Creates a character far from stupid and subservient. Quite the contrary Brutus Jones is an arrogant "negro" whose ambitions are not the slightest bit restricted by color. He even takes charge of a white man, Mr.Smithers, whose fears Brutus's might but hates his guts. Thus in a twist of fate, the white man, Smithers, becomes subservient to the black man in this chimera world of Eugene.
