Answer:

Eugene O'Neil in his play "Beyond the Horizon" provides Andrew as contrast to to Robert Mayo in through these attributes of their personality,

Practical vs daydreamer, strong vs sick, lover vs husband, farmer vs poetic, real adventurer vs adventurous natured.

Explanation:

"Beyond the Horizon" is Eugene O'Neil's play (1918). The play is about a farmer's family, specifically two brothers, Andrew and Robert Mayo; and their beloved Ruth Atkins. The basic theme of the play is importance of following one's dreams.

Andrew is farmer by nature, while Robert loves poetry, reading books, and daydreaming about adventurous journey to far off parts of the world. Physically, Andrew is strong and healthy while Robert is weak and sick. Andrew plays the role of a lover while Robert is portrayed as an ill-fated husband. Andrew is the one who takes real adventures, while Robert (though he loves adventures) because of his love with Ruth remains on the farm, is ruined and in turn ruins the whole family. Robert is almost free to take decisions whichever he like, whereas Andrew takes most of the decisions because of his brother, or because of the situation. Although Andrew sacrifices more, but it is Robert who has to suffer more.

Question:

Which phrase in this excerpt from act 1 of Eugene O'Neill's Beyond the Horizon suggests that Robert wishes to travel for adventure?

ANDREW: Oh, of course. I know you’re going to learn navigation, and all about a ship, so’s you can be an officer. That’s natural, too. There’s fair pay in it, I expect, when you consider that you’ve always got a home and grub thrown in; and if you’re set on traveling, you can go anywhere you’re a mind to without paying fare.

ROBERT: (with a smile that is half sad) It’s more than that, Andy.

ANDREW: Sure it is. There’s always a chance of a good thing coming your way in some of those foreign ports or other. I’ve heard there are great opportunities for a young fellow with his eyes open in some of those new countries that are just being opened up. (Jovially) I’ll bet that’s what you’ve been turning over in your mind under all your quietness! (He slaps his brother on the back with a laugh) Well, if you get to be a millionaire all of a sudden, call ’round once in a while and I’ll pass the plate to you. We could use a lot of money right here on the farm without hurting it any.

ROBERT: (forced to laugh) I’ve never considered that practical side of it for a minute, Andy.

ANDREW: Well, you ought to.

ROBERT: No, I oughtn’t. (Pointing to the horizon—dreamily) Supposing I was to tell you that it’s just Beauty that’s calling me, the beauty of the far off and unknown, 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? Suppose I told you that was the one and only reason for my going?

Answer:

far off and unknown
