About this book
Unlock the more straightforward side of Long Day's Journey into Night with this concise and insightful summary and analysis! This engaging summary presents an analysis of Long Day's Journey into Night by Eugene O'Neill, a tragic drama centred on the Tyrone family: James, the patriarch full of regrets over his career choices; Mary, a drug addict who regrets her choice to marry James; and their sons Jamie and Edmund, the latter being a semi-autobiographical portrait of the playwright himself. When Edmund is diagnosed with tuberculosis, the family's bonds begin to fracture and crumble as they are each consumed by regrets, denial and addictions of one kind or another.
