Escaping Reality in "The Glass Menagerie"

At Tennessee Williams' theater 'Glass Zoo', he reflects the economic status and despair of American families living in St. Louis in the 1930s. Williams painted three roles: disappointed mother Amanda Winfield, Tom, narrator and trapped son, and Laura, Lame's daughter. Williams compared the apartment in Winfield with "one of the huge honeycomb groups among cellular life units ..." to remind each role in the reality of cruel life (Conclusion 1972).

Escape from reality In Tennessee Williams' theater 'Glass Zoo', each character tries to escape from the real world by creating his own "reality". Three main characters are involved in the play, I feel like they are confined and I imagine various escape methods. One of the hero, Tom Wingfield, was trapped in the apartment where he lived with his mother. He later appealed the police station and the court awarded him $ 10,500. He complained Amanda and insisted that his illegal imprisonment was to lose his business and the police demanded that they remain closed and insisted that it was part of the crime scene . On 20th November when Guede was arrested, the authorities released Lumumba from prison and was arrested without train tickets at Guede near Mainz in Germany.

The dream of "glass zoo" and escape from all characters of "glass zoo" do not currently have the ability to live. Everyday life is so depressed that each character returns to a fantastic world through their dreams. In this article we will explore the reality faced by Amanda, Tom, Laura and Jim and explore how each role they pass through their dreams going beyond reality. Amanda "loses" her husband, two children, brothers of Tom and Laura Laura, Jim Connor (friend of Tom and Laura's high school friends) and Winfield (Tom and Laura's father, Amanda's husband) He gave up his family long before the game began. The title "The Glass Menagerie" represents a series of glass animals exhibited at Wingfields' house. At some point these animals represent each personality when they can not accept the reality. The theme of this play is the fight of characters in accepting the truth.
