"Tonight
I am reading 'Mourning Becomes Electra,' on Mil's recommendation. It is a very
interesting play, and very long--a trilogy.
I'm beginning to see some characteristics of his work now--such as
violent emotions, unusual situations, and people utterly lacking in moral fibre. I don't think it necessary to discuss on the
stage the sexual adjustment of the characters, however--for that is the basis
on which the woman murders her husband.
She must have been an unenlightened bride."
