The Glass Menagerie

“The Glass Menagerie,” written by Tennessee Williams, is a play of memory, and because of this it is dimly lighted. This play consisted of four main characters and one character that we only hear of because of his picture. This character is Mr. Wingfield. “He was a telephone man who fell in love with long distance; he skipped the light fantastic out of town”(page 1269). Amanda, Laura, and Tom lived in two worlds. These worlds …

…to begin his new life, and Amanda was still in her younger world, Laura may not have ever known that Jim used her for what he wanted. So as you see the roles of the family members play a huge role in everyone’s life, because everyone goes through things that different individuals in your family help you get out of or figure out. So our destiny has also been in someone else’s hand.
