"The Glass Menagerie"


The play “The glass menagerie” was very interesting, after reading the play, and watching the movie I can tell that this family is fragile. Laura the daughter being the most fragile separated herself from the world and devoted herself to her glass figures. She also had a bad leg and always walked with a limp because of her brace. Laura was very emotional, and never did anything to hurt anyone else. The glass menagerie pretty much represented her.  Another character was their mother was Amanda Wingfield, who was constantly trying to give Laura the life that she did not have back in her days.  Tom wingfield the son of Amanda and Laura younger brothers was taking care of the family through his warehouse job. Tom gets frustrated from his job, and he uses alcohol to escape from it. During the course of the play, Laura is introduced to one of tom friend Jim. After the power went out during dinner, Laura and Jim reconnected, and she mentions how he called her blue roses in high school. Jim gives Laura some advice about being confident and striving for your goal in order to be successful. Jim led Laura on with a kiss, and later told her that he was with someone else.
