how can they get by living in both worlds? the dream/fantasy, and yet live day to day- pay bills, self supporting.
Amanda- her husband ran away- she wants someone to support her daughter- and yet she is self supporting in a way. She models brassieres and sells magazine subscriptions.
Laura- has become so self conscious probably due to her Mothers constant critique that she is like the glass menagerie and is fragile emotions shine through her- she wears everything out in the open- seen as thought through glass- the last remnants of her wayward Father.
Tom- wants to do the right thing, but is held back because he has to take on the role his Father vacated as main supporter- he is expected to give up his dreams to care for the "family". He wishes to leave and find Freedom as his father did.

The unicorn falls to the floor and the horn breaks off, allowing it to become just another horse.
The glass menagerie is Laura's escape from reality. She is completely withdrawn from society. Her shyness and her minor disability make interactions with others difficult. She seems to care only for the little glass animals she collects, and does not seek friendship or companionship with others. This changes when Jim is invited to her home. Laura allows Jim to hold the figurine as a token of friendship. He accidentally breaks it, then announces he can not longer see Laura, as he is getting married.
