具體描述
Thomas Lanier "Tennessee" Williams III (March 26, 1911 – February 25, 1983) was an American playwright. Along with Eugene O'Neill and Arthur Miller, he is considered among the three foremost playwrights of 20th-century American drama.
After years of obscurity, he became suddenly famous with The Glass Menagerie (1944), a play that closely reflected his own unhappy family background. This heralded a string of successes, including A Streetcar Named Desire (1947), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), and Sweet Bird of Youth (1959). His later work attempted a new style that did not appeal to audiences, and alcohol and drug dependence further inhibited his creative output. His drama A Streetcar Named Desire is often numbered on short lists of the finest American plays of the 20th century alongside Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. Much of Williams' most acclaimed work was adapted for the cinema. He also wrote short stories, poetry, essays and a volume of memoirs. In 1979, four years before his death, Williams was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame.
Abandoned by her husband, Amanda Wingfield comforts herself with recollections of her earlier, more gracious life in Blue Mountain when she was pursued by 'gentleman callers'. Her son Tom, a poet with a job in a warehouse, longs for adventure and escape from his mother's suffocating embrace, while Laura, her shy crippled daughter, has her glass menagerie and her memories. Amanda is desperate to find her daughter a husband, but when the long-awaited gentleman caller does arrive, Laura's romantic illusions are crushed.

##I cross the street, I run into the movies or a bar, I buy a drink, I speak to the nearest stranger--anything that can blow yr candles out! -for nowadays the world is lit by lightning! Blow yr candles and so goodbye. *uneasy*
評分 評分##這本描寫的傢庭關係要比A Streetcar Named Desire要讓我痛苦，因為Amanda對兒子女兒的束縛和期望讓人窒息，三人都在逃避現實，互相摺磨，這種傢庭關係要比Blanche的崩潰更有實感。而且Jim對自卑敏感的Laura的溫柔和善解人意之後在對其的打擊真是……令人絕望，不知道Laura最後會怎樣；還有Tom那句：People go to the movies instead of moving. 最後Tom還是選擇跟父親一樣瞭啊
評分##在此劇中，所有人都在用自己的方式逃避現實。在這部關於迴憶的劇中所有的希望都會落空。Tom他自顧不暇，身為詩人卻在工廠工作，每晚通過看電影獲取“冒險經曆”。母親對他有超齣他願望和能力的期盼，而他幫不瞭妹妹，幫不瞭自己，最後隻能齣走。看到這隻想大哭一場。
