Menagerie and Salesman

"The roles of zoos and salesmen are bound to space and time" (Bigsby Critical Introduction 2, 45). Both playwritters described that roles can not lead to the reality of the current environment. They try to get rid of the fantastic reality to get rid of their harsh and depressed life. The fantasy world is temporarily a safe place for almost all the characters in the theater. But the hope of hanging there finally gave us applause.

The death of Arthur Miller 's salesman was announced in 1949, only four years from the Tennessee Williams play "Glass Zoo". Interestingly, both dramas began with a tragic glimpse and ended with self-induced regret. At first glance, the deaths of the salesman and the glass zoo seem to be similar. As a result of careful study, it is clear that these similarities are beyond publication time and are similar topics. Especially, neither is fantasy or reality, unlike the desire to live in current incompetence and escape.

"The Glass Zoo" The symbol of the zoo at Tennessee Williams's "Glass Zoo" explains three independent characters, their dreams and the harsh reality they face in the modern world. The glass zoo exposes their desperate struggle to escape the lost dream and reality of the southern family. The use of Williams' symbols adds depth to the drama. The glass zoo itself is a symbol of a broken life where Williams was representative of Amanda, Laura, Tom Wingfield, Tennessee Glass Zoo. Williams exquisitely interprets the man's desire to escape from unpleasant emotions and physical condition. Whether he shows a young man trapped in the factory, he hates elderly single mothers, lament for the lives of South Americans, or is concerned that she spends her life alone Women and fear. His audience Williams showed us how his character treats all kinds of unpleasant behaviors.
