Abandoned by her husband, Amanda Wingfield comforts herself with recollections of her earlier, more gracious life in Blue Mountain when she was pursued by 'gentleman callers'. Her son Tom, a poet with a job in a warehouse, longs for adventure and escape from his mother's suffocating embrace, while Laura, her shy crippled daughter, has her glass menagerie and her memories. Amanda is desperate to find her daughter a husband, but when the long-awaited gentleman caller does arrive, Laura's romantic illusions are crushed.
Thomas Lanier "Tennessee" Williams III (March 26, 1911 – February 25, 1983) was an American playwright. Along with Eugene O'Neill and Arthur Miller, he is considered among the three foremost playwrights of 20th-century American drama.
After years of obscurity, he became suddenly famous with The Glass Menagerie (1944), a play that closely reflected his own unhappy family background. This heralded a string of successes, including A Streetcar Named Desire (1947), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), and Sweet Bird of Youth (1959). His later work attempted a new style that did not appeal to audiences, and alcohol and drug dependence further inhibited his creative output. His drama A Streetcar Named Desire is often numbered on short lists of the finest American plays of the 20th century alongside Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. Much of Williams' most acclaimed work was adapted for the cinema. He also wrote short stories, poetry, essays and a volume of memoirs. In 1979, four years before his death, Williams was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame.
[Spoilers Alert] Tom - both the narrator and central character of the play. He is a young man who believes 'man, by instinct, is a lover, a hunter, a fighter' and feels that the factory job is destructive to human creativeness. He demonstrates to be conside...
评分 评分1929年9月美国股市崩盘,一个月内跌去40%,自此全世界陷入大萧条。到1933年时,美国工业总产量和国民收入跌去一半,商品批发价下跌近三分之一,3月,失业人口来到1400万人,占劳动力的四分之一。大规模的失业大大降低了生活水平,《玻璃动物园》的故事就是在这样的背景下发生的...

评分I didn't go to the moon, I went much further--for time is the longest distance between two places. /The scene is memory and is therefore nonrealistic. Memory takes a lot of poetic license. It omits some details; others are exaggerated, according to the emotional value of the articles it touches, for memory is seated predominantly in the heart.
评分Tom的人物塑造还是比较单薄,可能他还不太想剖析自己吧;田纳西威廉姆斯的早年生活,出场角色只有四个,还不太成熟但很特别,看得出他对妹妹的怜爱。
评分平平淡淡
评分这三天断断续续把这本看完。大师,您的人生确实是辛酸。读戏剧是从王尔德开始的,后来发现了田纳西。田老有蛮多部戏剧的,我目前买了2部。这本玻璃动物园是由通过作者在St. Louis时候的日子的生活改编成的戏剧。虽说整个篇幅没有任何一个细节然我有想落泪的冲动,但是田纳西曾经说过:"The saddest play I ever written. It's full of pain. It's painful for me to see it."剧中人物都在逃避着各自面对着他们的残酷的现实,只是逃避,没有对之做法抗。所以为什么田纳西会说这样的话可想而知。
