Joey Anderson’s Reviews > Complete Plays, 1920–1931 > Status Update

I recently finished "Mourning Becomes Electra," from this collection, and it was one of the finest plays I have ever read. O'Neill follows "The Orestia" quite closely in structure and character. Lavinia as the Electra character is one of the most diabolical women ever created; her vengeance is incredible.

The play is so compelling; rarely do I read a work that I find hard to put down. It rivets.
