Set in an industrialized society, the drama explores the dehumanizing effects of capitalism on the working class through the character of Yank. As he struggles with his identity and societal place, the play highlights themes of labor, class struggle, and alienation. O'Neill's use of expressionistic elements vividly portrays Yank's inner conflict and the harsh realities of his environment. Ultimately, the narrative presents a poignant social commentary on the divide between classes and the existential disillusionment faced by those marginalized in the relentless march of progress.
