Long Day's Journey Into Night - Week of September 20-27, 2010Instructions: By next Monday, September 27, please respond to the following prompt in two ways: (1) state your own opinion about the question; and (2) respond to at least two or three of your colleagues' ideas once the conversation starts flowing.
The very best responses will not only address the question squarely, but they will be based upon strong observations from the text. QUOTE THE PLAY LIBERALLY.
The Question: All four of the Tyrones are deeply flawed, and as the play unfolds, it is possible to imagine that none of them will learn from their experiences or grow in any way - that they are, in effect, flat characters. Can you make a case that one of the family members may break free from his or her demons? Do any of them have any redeeming qualities? If so, who would that be and what are those qualities?
