The Glass Menagerie
The glass menagerie is an interesting play. In addition to the fact that it has a lot of symbols we have to analyze, it points out our insecurities and how we deal with them.The main points of the play cover things like realities and how the characters try to escape, solutions people come up with to a problem, and how some of the problems shape a person's behavior like Laura is shy and stays at home because she is crippled, Amanda annoys her children because she tries to protect them from what happened to her, and To leaves his mother and sister at last like the way his father because he is sick and tired how his mother nagging him. Those main point we see in the play help us understand the symbols easier than it could have been.

That is a very good point. Once we understand who the characters are, we can see the hidden symbols and secrets that are in the story.
ReplyDeleteI agree if you can find and understand the symbols of each character the play is easier to understand as well as you have a more clear understanding for the characters.
