I know O'Neill is considered one of the greatest, if not the greatest, American playwright; and I LOVE Long Day's Journey into Night, however, I absolutely HATED this play. I had no "in" to the play. I didn't like any of the characters, therefore, I didn't care about any of them. Because of this I found it very difficult to read the long, drunken ramblings of each of the characters. I couldn't fathom any point to the play-If there was an over arching theme to it, I missed it, and don't care to find it.
