...nasty as he is, has tender spots available for Hennie, as frustrated by a "necessary" marriage as he is by his whole life, and for old Jake, who, defeated and cast aside, still manages to impart some of his idealism to Ralph. With all this going on, the play is stately in pace, complex in structure, with all sorts of subplots and developments over three long acts.
