Jim O'Connor is a character in Tennessee Williams' play "The Glass Menagerie." He's the gentleman caller who visits the Wingfield family, specifically Laura, Tom's sister. Jim is a charming and optimistic character who briefly gives Laura hope but ultimately disappoints her. So, in a nutshell, Jim is the guy who swoops in, gives Laura false hope, and then dashes her dreams. Classic.

Why is the play titled the glass menagerie?

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 She is completely withdrawn from society.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.
