Long Day's Journey into Night

It's good at first, but by Act 3 all the themes have been developed and the rest of the play is simply digging in further to the already-established ruts.

This might be a play that really suffers in the reading as opposed to the performance.

Class-assigned reading. I did not like the ending, but overall it was ok.

This is a powerful and depressing view of a family that loves each other but not themselves. So they can't change who they are and keep letting each other down. It is possibly the best American play.
