Long Day’s Journey into Night is Eugene O’Neill’s masterpiece and arguably the great American play. We will examine from a psychoanalytic point of view the play’s aesthetic value, the nature of some of the creative processes that underpinned its two-year long composition,
and its relation to the late plays of other playwrights.
Suggested readings from The Library of America three volume collected works include three plays from O’Neill’s early period – A Wife for a Life, his first extant play, Thirst and Anna Christie – and two from his middle period – Desire Under the Elms and More Stately Mansions. The following topics in relation to Long Day’s Journey will be covered in the following order:
Father and Son/ Brother and Brother
Mother and Son
Form and Structure
The “Late Style” in Drama
