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.
