It is suggested that, because of her drinking, Lilly is part of the reason why Rachel was sexually abused. She was never totally there; she was supposedly always suspected to be under the influence and leaving Rachel in the care of her step-dad, Arnold. The film is moving when dealing with this issue because it is actually the addiction that starts to bring the family back together. Georgia supports Lilly through her lowest of times. This is evident during one scene, when Lilly is drinking the alcohol. Georgia enters with a tray of food and drink, saying she needs to eat sometime. Upon entering Georgia states: “Ohh you cut your hair.” Lilly responds with, “It was getting in the way of my drinking.” This quote shows the desperate acts that alcohol can make you do and later regret. Unfortunately an alcohol addiction is not as easy as just surrendering and saying you will not drink again, especially when you are drunk at the time.

However, the audience is left slightly happy with the…

    In Long Day’s Journey into Night, how far and in what ways is the past presented as destructive?

    Edmund’s description of Mary Tyrone as a “ghost haunting the past” is a near perfect encapsulation of her character later in the play.

The morphine acts as a kind of time machine that brings her back to being the “naive, happy, chattering schoolgirl of her convent days”. However by falling into the trap of the past with her own personal drug, like all the family members, she loses the will to fight against her problem in the present and takes more morphine to counter this effect, freezing herself in a deadly double bind and showing the destructive nature of…
