THE MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN

O'Neill's last play. Like Shakespeare who had, also, deserted his family, O'Neill's last play is about an Irish farmer in America and his idealized relationship with his daughter. It also follows the love between the girl and O'Neill's brother who is drinking himself to death and wants to receive forgiveness for his many sins by confessing them to the farmer's daughter. By writing the play, O'Neill forgives his brother Jamie.
