Representaion Supposing Books Long Day's Journey into Night
Eugene O'Neill's autobiographical play Long Day's Journey into Night is regarded as his finest work. First published by Yale University Press in 1956, it won the Pulitzer Prize in 1957 and has since sold more than one million copies. This edition includes a new foreword by Harold Bloom. The action covers a fateful, heart-rending day from around 8:30 am to midnight, in August 1912 at the seaside Connecticut home of the Tyrones - the semi-autobiographical representations of O'Neill himself, his older brother, and their parents at their home, Monte Cristo Cottage. One theme of the play is addiction and the resulting dysfunction of the family. All three males are alcoholics and Mary is addicted to morphine. They all constantly conceal, blame, resent, regret, accuse and deny in an escalating cycle of conflict with occasional desperate and half-sincere attempts at affection, encouragement and consolation.Rating Of Books Long Day's Journey into Night

It was a great mistake, my being born a man, I would have been much more successful as a sea gull or a fish.

And I think they very much capture the mood and tension that so densely fog the lives of the Tyrones --Long Days Journey Into Night by Eugene ONeillThis is an outstanding play. And that should have been the end of the review.What more can you add, and why waste someones time with some words which cannot possibly contribute to an already established, acclaimed work. I am not sure who, if anybody reads past the first two sentences, but my original plan had my family in mind: daughter- not wife- she never listens to me when I talk, why would she go to the trouble of accessing goodreads or my blog

Why did this feel like rereading The Glass Menagerie?
How could you believe mewhen I cant believe myself ? Ive become such a liar.Eugene O'Neill ~~ LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT (IIii)I believe Eugene O'Neill's LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT to be the greatest American play ever written, as well as the greatest play of the 20th century. It fascinates me that as most playwright's talents wane as they age, O'Neill's grew stronger with each passing year. To have written LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT, THE ICEMAN COMETH, A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN, and
Everything looked and sounded unreal. Nothing was what it is. That's what I wantedto be alone with myself in another world where truth is untrue and life can hide from itself.Okay, that was so good. But really depressing. It's a little difficult to read sometimes, because it's so realistic and, of course, tends to be painful. This is a story of a family who slowly descends to ruin; a domestic tragedy that will truly reverberate in the hearts of the readers. Enter Mary, the mother of two sons, an
