Question

Two answers required. One of these characters often criticizes the other by listing one-night stands, cheap hotels, and filthy trains. (15[1])When one of these characters urges the other to “forget the past,” she replies, “The past is the present, isn’t it? It’s the future too.” In a play’s final lines, one of these characters recalls falling in love with the other (-5[1])after being sent home to have a normal life for her senior year, despite her certainty that she would return to the (*) convent. In the opening scene, one of these characters compliments the other for her recent weight gain and is in turn teased for snoring as loudly as the foghorn (-5[1])outside their summer house. One of these characters chides the other for using a cheap doctor to diagnose the tuberculosis of their son (-5[1])Edmund. For 10 points, name this husband and wife, a washed-up actor and a morphine addict, from Long Day’s Journey into Night. (0[1])■END■ (10[2]0[3])
