The Glass Menagerie

The first five scenes of The Glass Menagerie, by Tennessee Williams, have got me much more interested than the play ‘night Mother, by Marsha Norman. That being said proves that it wasn’t just the fact that it was a play, but the fact that I didn’t like that play. So far in The Glass Menagerie we’ve seen aspects of all the characters (minus Jim the caller) and they all have their own distinct personalities which are seen through their actions and words. My favorite character at this point is Amanda the mother. She seems to question all the things which her children do which I like and she seems like she could be a real person. She cares for her children and wants the best for them (to be happy and live well) but she still argues with them like a real parent. I am interested to see how the rest of the play turns out.
