Eugene O'Neill's play Long Day's Journey into Night follows the Tyrone family over the course of a single day in 1912. It is considered O'Neill's masterpiece and one of the greatest American plays of the 20th century. The semi-autobiographical play depicts the family's decline as they struggle with addiction and mental illness. Each character lives in denial of their own failures and blame the others, escaping their problems through alcohol and drugs. As the day progresses from morning to night, their illusions are shattered by reality and the play ends in tragedy as the family disintegrates.Assignment of pakistani literature

T.S. Eliot was one of the most influential literary critics of the 20th century. As a critic, he argued for the importance of tradition and history in poetry. He defended the metaphysical poets like Donne for their inventive use of conceits. Eliot also believed that poets after the 17th century experienced a "dissociation of sensibility" where they could no longer fuse thought and emotion. As a poet himself, Eliot's works helped change modern literature with poems like The Waste Land.Mr bleaney

The poet is moving into a room that was previously occupied by Mr Bleaney. Through observing the sparse furnishings, the poet draws conclusions about Bleaney's lonely and stagnant life. The room reflects Bleaney's isolation, as seen in the faded curtains and lack of personal possessions. By the end, the poet worries that he may be becoming like Bleaney over time, trapped in a solitary existence. The poem implies how our environments and circumstances shape our identities.'

This document is a student paper analyzing Samuel Beckett's play "Waiting for Godot" as an example of absurdist or "Theatre of the Absurd" drama. It defines key features of absurdist plays like meaningless plots, lack of beginning/end, repetitive dialogue. It analyzes how Godot fits these through its plotless story of Vladimir and Estragon waiting endlessly. The paper also discusses the philosophical roots of absurdism in Camus' view of life as meaningless and examines elements like nonsense language, stereotypical characters, and absurd/ambiguous endings found in Godot and characteristic of Theatre of the Absurd.A Doll's house

It also analyzes the symbolism of names Torvald calls Nora, as well as objects like her fancy dress, the Christmas tree, and doors opening and closing. The document concludes by arguing that "A Doll's House" can be considered a modern tragedy as it presents an ordinary woman's journey toward self-liberation in a patriarchal society through the use of deception.Allen ginsberg.12

Novels of the 20th century underwent significant changes in form and style compared to previous eras. Chapters were broken into fragments and sentences dissolved into streams of interior thought, influenced by Freudian psychology and Marxism. Truth became relative and novels dealt in no absolutes. Traditional narration was replaced with subjective perspectives that emphasized consciousness over plot and character coherence. The past was discovered imperfectly through effort. Dominant themes included facing reality, social awareness, and loneliness. Experimental styles flourished alongside realism, with an emphasis on perspective and portraying the human condition through moving dramas.
