In the play “ The Glass Menagerie” by Tennessee Williams many themes are used to develop the characters. ...
The Glass Menagerie is the story of a slow destruction of a family. ... In the relationship with Jim, she is given one brief moment when she is able to emerge from her glass world, like a moth out of a cocoon. ...
Illusion and reality are very important themes in The Glass Menagerie; each character fully manifests this theme. ... Laura makes the most obvious use of illusions in her creation of a world of glass, which becomes more real to her than the “real” world outside the glass menagerie. The world of glass figurines will always be beautiful, delicate, and tender. ... At the end of the play, Laura returns to this glass world from which Jim almost took her. ... She too will become a fragile piece of glass, lost forever in the illusionary world she has created. ... Tennessee Williams uses destruction of a family, loneliness, and reality as themes to show the slow destruction of a family in The Glass Menagerie.
