„"The Glass Menagerie" is one of the most represented plays by the American playwright Tennessee Williams and draws its tragic substratum from the various illusions that the members of the Wingfield family build for themselves - the mother (Amanda), anchored in a brighter past, the son (Tom), tied to the family and a job with no prospects, and the daughter (Laura), crippled and implausibly shy, concerned only with her collection of glass figurines. The event that changes the monotonous rhythm of their existence is the visit of Jim, a former schoolmate of Tom and Laura. In the person of Jim, Laura recognizes the charming boy she had secretly loved in high school. For a moment we are left with the impression that everything could end well and in harmony, but reality proves to everyone that their dreams are as fragile as the trinkets collected by Laura. "The Glass Menagerie" is a play for the soul, which penetrates the poetic through symbols, fascinating through the beauty of the dialogues and the memorable character of the situations.
