Hardship and Marriage Eugene O’Neill’s play "Before Breakfast" shows an unhappily married couple living out sad lives that they never imagined when they were first married. The story tells of what could happen when dreams and aspirations are dashed by cold reality and hardship. As a result‚ we see two desperate people struggling with one another in a downward spiral‚ and can conclude that perhaps they were never meant to be married. “Before Breakfast‚” which is one of O’Neill’s earliest plays‚ shows
