Mourning Becomes Electra by Eugene O'Neill,a play has wide range of character where inter relationship reacts through inner sentiments & tries to connect with the outer world. In three parts it mainly designed.
Brigadier General Ezra has beautiful wife named Christian who has two children-Lavinia,a daughter & Orin,a boy child.as Ezra had to live outside due to job placement Christian felt some gape with husband & may be for filling that space she had another relation with Adam.Both children has no preference for mother's relationship with Adam & Orin who has attraction towards mother(Oedipal complex) killed Adam & on the other side Lavinia had feelings towards her father(Electra complex) who may be poisoned by Christian & second lover Adam who killed by her brother only turns the story completely.
At the very end of the play,Christian who already suicide & after lost illusive attractions from Father & late lover of Christian,Lavinia became like mental & fixed herself in her father's library.On the other side Orin killed himself by gun & murdered every sentiments with him.
Only letter remains a sign of entire storyline which written by Orin & conditioned with Hazel to open it after his death only or something will going to happen then only.
By this play ends but overall it's about internal sentiments that one has for other fairly or not it's resulted accordingly.
Thank You.
