 I don't get this play. It's not even the best O'Neill I've read. It's not a peek into his soul as it's advertised. It's just a depressing pile of shit. I want my wasted time back.

 A masterpiece, not just among plays, but of literature for all time. O'Neill proves with this work that a writer must not be afraid to look to the most secret, most personal corners of their own life when writing universal human drama. This play will shock, frighten and move you—even in our modern era. In the capable hands of O'Neill, the Tyrones are at once lovable, detestable, hopeless and hopeful. And while at times the writing is rather dense (especially for a play) it is among the finest in the English language and American literature.

 O'Neil is my totally dice. Lonliness, isolation, great despair and longing for a better life for those around you. God I love this play, its all about family kid, all about family.

 The whole play takes place in one house in 26 hours where reader observes 26 hours of endless arguing with some inserts of love. It reminds me a horror movie with the commercials of Kay Jewelers during the incredible watch. While kisses begin with Kay, arguments in the play begin with talks about past and some glasses of whiskey.
Who said that Russians drink a lot?

 Not glamorous or brilliant, but it does speak volumes about O'Neil.

 This play is full of anger and denial. The four main characters are sad, ill, drunken, addicted, and regretful. Long Day's Journey into Night is a modern tragedy.
