Most of the plot of the play is repetitious, just as the cycle of an alcoholic is repetitious. The above arguments occur numerous times throughout the four acts and five scenes. All acts are set in the living room, and all scenes but the last occur either just before or just after a meal. Act II, Scene i is set before lunch; scene ii after lunch; and Act III before dinner. Each act focuses on interplay between two specific characters: Act I features Mary and Tyrone; Act II Tyrone and Jamie, and Edmund and Mary; Act III Mary and Jamie; Act IV Tyrone and Edmund, and Edmund and Jamie.


The repetitious plot also helps develop the notion that this day is not remarkable in many ways. Instead, it is one in a long string of similar days for the Tyrones, filled with bitterness, fighting, and an underlying love.
The influence of "Long Day's Journey Into Night"to the reader
Long Day's Journey into Night is undoubtedly a tragedy--it leaves the audience with a sense of catharsis, or emotional rebirth through the viewing of powerful events, and it depicts the fall of something that was once great.Long Day's Journey Into Night is considered to be O'Neill's greatest play not only for its story and characters but also because of its inventive, theatrical elements including: The play's form and structure. The play tells the story of one family over the course of one day.
Each of the characters is living in a self-created world of delusion. As the long day progresses, the family members are slowly forced to confront the reality of their failures. Mary is a drug addict; she has thought to hide this from her husband and sons but is ultimately unable to. Edmund has consumption (tuberculosis); he and the others have suspected this, but Mary, especially, has been in denial about it until the end of the play when Edmund announces it to her. Jamie, Edmund's elder brother, is an alcoholic and a failure in life. Tyrone is an alcoholic as well, reliving his past glory as an actor and refusing to accept the negative things about his wife, his sons, and himself. The entire family are in denial about all these facts; the title of the play refers to the journey, taking place from morning through to night, of their being forced out of the cocoon of denial to recognize the harsh reality of their suffering.
We follow the lives of four individuals struggling with their own addictions, flaws, and regrets, without any hint of a possible resolution. We are presented with the grim reality that not all endings are happy, and that not all problems can be solved.
The title also symbolises the "journey" through which addicts go through on a daily basis. All of the Tyrones are using drugs or alcohol. For people with addiction problems, every day is a repetitive process in which they drink or use over and over, until night finally brings sleep. It's thus possible O'Neill intended the title as a metaphor for the disease of addiction.
The tradegy has great influence on people as it depicts family issues clearly.It also blame some group of people who can not catch work-life balance and end up with misunderstanding among family members.Maybe this tradegy plays as an example of possible issues and their possible reasons.And make a picture of its consequences.
