The Symbol of Fog in Long Day's Journey into Night

In Eugene O'Neill's Long Journey into Night the pervasive imagery of fog acts as a crucial symbolic element. All the four haunted Tyrones are attracted to the fog. Functioning as a means of escape, the fog is identical with morphine and alcohol. While the Tyrones'cottage is enveloped by the natural fog, the people inside are bound by the fog of alcohol and morphine. O'Neill's effective use of this symbol adds a great deal to the richness of this play.
