 Long Day's Journey into Night
|
I really love the psychological depth of this book. This depth is reflected for example in the details that show O'Neill's Oedipo complex: the close relationship with his mother, the impossible growth as man because of the Oedipo chain which makes him drink and doesn't let him develop in personal relationships with women. At the same time his brother Jamie is also an Oedipo but the mother's preference is towards Edmund (Eugene) which provoques his jealousy ... It is a very clever and conscious play.

This play is probably one of the best written plays out there because O'Neill was able to take his own tragic life and transcend it to a public level.
