In Tennessee Williams’s “memory play” Amanda, Laura and Tom live in every moment but the present
Williams’s “The Glass Menagerie” is said to be “memory play”. I would rather call it “dream play” or perhaps “illuminative play”. ... Starting from Amanda the eldest member of the family prefers to live in the past. ... Amanda has an amazing ability to fix things in her mind and truly believe them to be real. She is aware that her daughter is crippled and isolated from the world, but Amanda still hopes that gentlemen callers will visit them. ... Amanda feels like she has failed in life. ... ” And that is what Amanda does – she regrets the past and the present aches too much to face with.
As a result to Amanda’s fear to face reality her children have grown into
un-secure persons with not many values and very alike their mother.
