In their attempts to anaesthetize themselves against pain, the Tyrones ultimately vocalize truth, as the safe routine of daily life is stripped bare by the solitude of night. Long Day's Journey Into Night also challenges the uniquely American emphasis on ambition and moneymaking as the driving forces of life, asking the question, At what price is the American dream achieved...
