About this book

Unlock the more straightforward side of The Glass Menagerie with this concise and insightful summary and analysis! This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams, one of the famed playwright's most autobiographical works. The play is told from the perspective of Tom Wingfield, a young man who is trapped in his memories of his life with his mother Amanda and sister Laura – a life he has cast off and left behind him. The play follows the events that transpire when Tom invites Jim to dinner, sparking hopes that he might prove a suitable suitor for Laura, whose overpowering social anxiety has left her isolated from the world. However, things do not work out as planned, and Tom is left with nothing but his guilt over the situation. Williams's other works include Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, A Streetcar Named Desire and Suddenly Last Summer, and he is widely considered to be one of the greatest American playwrights of all time.Find out everything you need to know about The Glass Menagerie in a fraction of the time!
