The Glass Menagerie

I enjoyed reading this play. It was easy to read and the characters were colorful and dynamic. Though the play did not have a happy ending, Laura did not seem as helpless as she was in the beginning of the story. I was disappointed to find that Tom was following in his father's footsteps. He had left and was travelling. He was unhappy and tried to forget his family, but could not. He had always imagined that his father was happy to go and he enjoyed being away, so he thought that was how he was going to be. His father might have been miserable after he left, just like he was. I enjoyed Tennessee Williams' unique style of writing. It was a nice change from Shakespeare.
