Answer 2

"The mystery and spell of the East which lures me in the books I've read, the need of the freedom of great wide spaces, the joy of wandering on and on—in quest of the secret which is hidden over there, beyond the horizon?"

Step-by-step explanation:

In Eugene O'Neill's play "Beyond the Horizon", the characters' lives revolve around their respective beliefs and desires, their dreams of life. The story is a significant indication of what one's dreams play a huge part in our lives and how it could also lead to the destruction of a person if unfulfilled.

In Act I, we see the two brothers in conversation about their dreams, Andrew wanting to stay in the family farm and work there, with the hope of marrying Ruth, his girlfriend. On the other hand, Robert did not have the slightest interest in farming. He would rather be travelling to "the mystery and spell of the East which lures me in the books I've read, the need of the freedom of great wide spaces, the joy of wandering on and on—in quest of the secret which is hidden over there". These lines shows that he wishes to travel for adventure, for his own enjoyment and not particularly to be "an officer" in a ship. For him, travelling is more of a dream fulfilled, his desire to be out there, exploring the unknown.
