    This research paper aims at analyzing and discussing the three notions of ‘dominant, residual and emergent’ culture within the society and how these ideologies change over time, by relying on the works of Raymond Williams. We have shown how Williams established a hegemonic interrelation between these three cultural concepts. From this theoretical perspective, we have analyzed the characters which are presented in both D.H Lawrence’s novel The Virgin and the Gypsy (1930) and Eugene O’Neill’s play Strange Interlude (1928) and their closeness to the different types of individuals presented by Williams in his theory "Individuals and Societies" from his book The Long Revolution (1961) where he classifies the individuals into six types. The main purpose of this dissertation is to explain the different types of culture and the classification of individuals introduced by Williams, and to analyze how individuals influenced by their society in which they live and the conflict between them and their society. It has been demonstrated that characters in both works correspond to the different types of individuals as explained by Williams. This dissertation is divided into two main chapters. The first chapter discusses the three notions of culture and their relationship to D.H Lawrence’s novel and Eugene O’Neill’s play. The second chapter deals with the analysis of the characters of the two literary works relaying on Raymond William’s theory.
