I've finished all seven scences off the Glass Menagerie and I didn't like any of it.
I couldn't stand the mother, Amanda. I felt like she was trying to live through Laura, by constantly insisting on visits from gentlemen callers when Laura didn't want them.
As I mentioned before, this book seems to have alot of symbolism. Two examples I've noticed were the fire escape and Lauras glass menagerie.
The fire escape seemed to represent an escape to reality as well as an escape from reality. For Tom, it was an escape out of the pretend worlds of his sister and mother, and into reality. But for Laura, the fire escape was a way away from reality.
I also think that Lauras glass menagerie was an escape from reality. It was a safe place, away from business school and her mothers gentlemen callers.
