Basically he is an expository device in the play‚ serving to introduce information and at the end delivers the epitaph on Jones‚ for whom he has some curious respect.

The Emperor Jones by Eugene O’Neill The first question that came to me while reading O’Nelil’s play “the Emperor Jones“ was: “would anybody seriously still bring that play to the stage today?“ The answer is‚ as I found out with a quick look into the Internet: “Yes!“ I found a review of a production of the “Irish Repertory Theatre” that was not dated but seemed to be pretty recent.

Huangdi was China’s first Emperor‚ and Emperor Hadrian was perhaps the Roman’s greatest Emperor.
