minating attitude. Cabot always wants to dominate his family members. Eben claims that his father killed his mother for problematic work tendencies. Cabot makes all the members of the farmhouse hard workers.  

Cabot’s sin and retribution: After scanning the play, we get his sin. First of all, his sin is that he is a very orthodox person. For that reason, he has no good relationship with his family members. His second notable sin, according to Eben, is that he takes forcibly the ownership of the farm from his mother and kills his mother through problematic work tendencies. 

Stereotypical mentality: O’Neill shows Cabot's stereotypical mentality in the play in a fantastic way. This is one of the essential philosophical views of Puritanism. Cabot is the follower of a “hard worker” and a “hard God.” He never goes outside of his stony land. He never wants to lose his ownership of the farmhouse at any cost. He says: 

Cabot: …. The farm will remain mine.

In the last part of the play, he even wants to burn his farmhouse so that nobody can possess it. 

To sum up, after scanning the play, we learn that Cabot is a hard-working man who makes everyone a hard worker without any excuse. Cabot remains lonesome forever in the farmhouse.
