"Essentially, 'Long Day's Journey Into Night' is not so much a tale as O'Neill's remorseless attempt to tell the blunt truth about his family as a matter of artistic conscience. The truth is ugly....But he analyzes the characters of the mother and father with a kind of austere understanding that ultimately spares them. Life has worn them down. The father has risen out of grinding poverty to a place in public life that he is incapable of mastering. Fear of returning to poverty poisons his instincts and judgment. And the mother's addiction to narcotics is a vice for which she is not responsible."O'Neill, Eugene is the author of 'Long Day's Journey into Night ', published 2002 under ISBN 9780300094107 and ISBN 0300094108.
