What does the unicorn represent in The Glass Menagerie?
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.
It is the password in the play "The Comedy of Evolution."
No he was not! He was an ordinary man in his time. He only became really famous years later. Social climbing was a slow business and there was no way that a glover's son could become a lord or a member of the aristocracy. Shakespeare did manage to get a little higher on the social ladder by having a coat of arms granted to him: this entitled him to be called "William Shakespeare, gent."
Which of Shakespeare's plays contains the phrase 'All that glisters is not gold'?
The phrase "All that glisters is not gold" comes from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, Act II, Scene VII. In a sub-plot of the play, Portia's dead father has decreed in his will that she is to marry whichever of her suitors correctly picks one of three caskets that contains her portrait. The choices are gold, silver and lead caskets. The Prince of Morocco chooses gold, and when the casket is unlocked finds not her portrait, but a picture of Death with this message in its hollow eye: "All that glisters is not gold; Often have you heard that told. Many a man his life hath sold But my outside to behold. Gilded tombs do worms enfold." The phrase (also written as "All that glitters is not gold") means that a shiny, attractive bauble is not necessarily valuable. "Glisters" was also used by Thomas Gray more than 100 years after Shakespeare. He refers to the death of a favorite cat which was drowned in a goldfish bowl. "Not all that tempts your wand'ring eyes/And heedless hearts, is lawful prize;/Nor all that glisters, gold." The quotation "all that glisters is not gold" comes from the Merchant of Venice

How does Mary warren behave towards her employers by the book the crucible by arthur miller?
In a word, cocky. Mary goes from cowering servant to having a new sense of maturity and purpose when she appointed to be an "official" of the court. Mary tells John that the court has decided to "spare" Goody Good because she is pregnant. She believes, as she tells John, that "it's God's work we do." She naively believes he will see her in a new light. "You must see it, sir." She places her new found responsibility above any obligation she has to John, saying, "So I'll be gone every day for some time. I'm -- I'm an official of the court." John, who loathes the court, does not take kindly to her announcement or defection. He comes after Mary with a whip. But she stands her ground. Miller writes that though "terrified," she stands "erect, striving for her authority." Mary goes on to tell John that it was she who defends Elizabeth against the accusations of witchcraft which have been leveled against her. Unmoved, John orders Mary to "go to bed." She replies, (with a stamp of her foot that undermines her supposed maturity), "I'll not be ordered to bed no more. I am eighteen, and a woman, however single!"

This is part of a line of Marc Antony's speech in the play "Julius Caesar". The speech is from Act 3, Scene 2 of the play attributed William Shakespeare.
He's a practical joker. "Those things best please me that do fall out preposterously." He talks about disguising himself as a stool then when an old lady tries to sit on him he slips out of the way and she falls on her bum. Ha-ha. You might think of him as the class clown.

Stella Linden was the second wife of actor-manager Terence Duff a.k.a. Patrick Desmond. She had an affair with a young John Osborne and helped him write his first play, "The Devil Inside Him". She directed the play at the Theatre Royal, Huddersfield in May, 1950, where it ran for a week and then was not heard of again. That is, until a copy of the script was found in the old files of the Lord Chamberlain's Office, now housed at the British Library.
She left her husband sometime around the end of 1950/early 1951 for Hollywood and fame. She found Hollywood, but not much fame, and got herself a "quickie" divorce in Mexico. In the late 1960s, she wrote an episode for the Monkees' TV series, and wrote a book "Two a Penny" which became a film of the same name, co-writing the screenplay with David Winter. A soft-porn book "Shameless" has her name as author, but is it the same Stella Linden?

What does William Shakespeare mean you will praise any man that will praise me?
Actually, Shakespeare's line is "I will praise any man who will praise me" and occurs in Act II Scene 6 of Antony and Cleopatra. Enobarbus, one of Antony's men, is talking to Menas, one of Pompey's men. Menas is a sailor, Enobarbus a soldier. Enobarbus tells Menas that he has done well by water, and Mena replies "And you by land" whereupon Enobarbus says "I will praise any man who will praise me; though it cannot be denied what I have done by land." Basically he means he is open for compliments.
"Hold it a fashion and a toy in blood,
A violet in the youth of primy nature,
Froward, not permanent, sweet, not lasting,
The perfume and suppliance of a minute."
The context shows the general meaning of the phrase--that Hamlet's love is transient and impermanent. A "toy" is a plaything, something not to be taken seriously. "In blood" is more difficult. There is no doubt about the reading: Q2 and Q3 have "blood", F has "bloud" and the passage is not in Q1. This is probably a reference to the theory of humours, the idea being that at present Hamlet is dominated by the humour blood, which would make his personality sanguine. A sanguine personality is "amourous, happy, generous, optimistic and irresponsible." Laertes is focusing on the last quality, suggesting that this passion arises from the irresponsibility of his sanguine nature.
