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.
