The unicorn represents a mysterious creature which is rare. The glass unicorn is symbolic of Laura. Her personality of not wanting to face reality and then when she is put in a situation which is uncomfortable to her---she falls to pieces. Too exquisitely fragile to move from the self.
Later on in the play when she is dancing with Jim O' Connor, the glass unicorn falls off a table top area and the horn breaks. Laura picks it up and says basically that now it is like all the others; normal. For the audience, they may notice this change and normality of what has become to be a more confident, likable Laura.
