Abstract
James Tyrone, Edmund's father, is a famous actor, who early in his career had been considered as a potentially great Shakespearean actor. But, the play that brought him such great financial success ruined him. He married Mary Tyrone, an Irish-Catholic woman, who was very devoted to the Blessed Virgin, and never felt at home in the theater. After bearing Edmund, her youngest son, she was really sick, and the doctor prescribed dope to kill the pain. She became a dope addict, and had to be sent to a sanatorium. Jamie, the elder son, is an alcoholic, living in bar hotels, and sleeping with some fat whore. Edmund grew up admiring his brother and being introduced into a life of dissipation. He likes reading and writing, and is naturally obsessed with death and madness.
