Explore "The Great God Brown" by Eugene O'Neill on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Scene: The same as Scene Two of Act Three -- the library of William Brown's home. The mask of Dion stands on the table beneath the light, facing front.
On his knees beside the table, facing front, stripped naked except for a white cloth around his loins, is Brown. The clothes he has torn off in his agony are scattered on the floor. His eyes, his arms, his whole body strain upward, his muscles writhe with his lips as they pray silently in their agonized supplication. Finally a voice seems torn out of him.
