Eugene O'Neill's Beyond the Horizon is a play that shows how the personality can develop differently though the time even when we come from the same background, as we can see that one of the siblings enjoys the life in a farm with a routine of hard work and family union, and the other one likes to plan adventures and traveling as the books he loves tell in their stories

Explanation:

Andrew and Robert are two brothers in Eugene O'Neill's play "Beyond the Horizon"

They are very similar in some attribute, while in some other attributes, they are at opposite poles from each other.

Andrew is described as on who has much interest in the fields, he takes all the pain to keep family's farm and fields in good shape. Robert, on the other hand, is totally indifferent to what is happening at farm and fields. He is characterized as having a poetic and delicate nature - reading books, and thinking about adventurous journeys occupy much of his time.

There is no contrast between Andrew and Robert on the bases of caring for their family. They both care much for their family.

Andrew is not resentful about Robert leaving the farm. He just says that everyone at farm including Andrew himself will miss him a lot.
