REALISTIC IN TENNESSEE WILLIAM ‘S PLAY "THE GLASS MENAGERIE"

Literature

The focus Williams’ play is not on characters reveals themselves the full reality of their inner disharmony. The theme of Williams seems to be the utter loneliness of man in a world without beliefs, and man’s chief enemy is time. Tennessee Williams is a major American dramatist as Henri Ibsen, whom he admired, dwelt upon several controversial Subjects. His plays made dramatic history not only through their phenomenal successes but also by leaving each succeeding ideas. His handling of such themes as homosexuality, emasculation, drug-addiction, venereal diseases and cannibalism kept the greatest of his admirers guessing about what he would deal with next. He always seemed to flout the social and moral code by rebelling against it. In his personal life he was more or less a travelling worker, always on the move.
