Nuanced Dialogue – The characters express subtle emotions, inner conflicts, and psychological depth, requiring careful interpretation.

Figurative Language – Frequent use of metaphors, symbolism, and allusions adds layers of meaning (e.g. The fog rolling in from the harbor often mirrors the characters’ confusion, despair, and emotional suffocation. It’s not just weather; it symbolizes the clouded reality and despair in the Tyrone family).

Emotional and Thematic Complexity – The play deals with addiction, illness, regret, and family tension, expressed in sophisticated ways.

Long sentences & Dramatic Monologues – Some passages are grammatically intricate and challenging to parse.
