Description
Eugene O'Neill's trilogy reimagines Greek tragedy in 19th-century New England. Lavinia Mannon seeks revenge against her mother and stepfather, while her brother Orin grapples with his own feelings towards their family. A complex web of relationships and past conflicts drives the plot, as Lavinia and Orin navigate a cycle of violence and betrayal. This edition includes a full introduction, biographical sketch, and chronology to provide context for O'Neill's masterpiece. Published in 1992, Mourning Becomes Electra is a powerful exploration of family dynamics and the enduring power of past actions.
