Question

Two answers required. One of these characters often criticizes the other by listing one-night stands, cheap hotels, and filthy trains. 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 after being sent home to have a normal life for her senior year, despite her certainty that she would return to the (-5[1])(*) 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 outside their summer house. One of these characters chides the other (10[1])for using a cheap doctor to diagnose the (-5[1])tuberculosis of their son Edmund. (-5[1])For 10 points, name this (-5[1])husband and wife, a washed-up actor and a morphine addict, from Long Day’s Journey into Night. ■END■ (10[1]0[4])
