These plays were conceived and developed in tandem, drawing heavily on the raw experience of the author's own family relationships. The first deliberately echoes Ancient Greek tragedy with its story of incest, infanticide and father/son relations within a New England farming family. The second demonstrates O'Neill's expressionistic experimentation in its use of masks to emphasize the distinction between the two characters, Dion Anthony and Brown, the one representing creative genius, the other worldly success.
