Glass Menagerie
nickname. The scene when swarm typewriters appeared on the screen. This memory of fear that Laura had in Business School when she became sick. At times its function as a slate for Tennessee Williams use of lighting, music and screen device as staging technique show the Glass Menagerie theme of memory. Lighting is one of the staging techniques that represents memory... in Tom’s soliloquy in scene one he states “Being a memory play it is dimly lighted it is sentimental, it is not realistic.” the dim lighting in the play tells how vague Tom’s memory is and everything he says is not true to be exact. However, when there is a bright light present means that his memory is very vivid. In the quarrel scene between Tom and Amanda a bright light is shown over Laura figure who is not involve in the scene at all this is also true of the in the supper scene.
