Williams wrote: "This is a play about love in its purest terms." It is also Williams's robust and persuasive plea for endurance and resistance in the face of human suffering. The earthy widow Maxine Faulk is proprietress of a rundown hotel at the edge of a Mexican cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean where the defrocked Rev. Shannon, his tour group of ladies from a West Texas women's college, the self-described New England spinster Hannah Jelkes and her ninety-seven-year-old grandfather, Jonathan Coffin ("the world's oldest living and practicing poet"), a family of grotesque Nazi vacationers, and an iguana tied by its throat to the veranda, all find themselves assembled for a rainy and turbulent night. This is the first trade paperback edition of The Night of the Iguana and comes with an Introduction by award-winning playwright Doug Wright, the author's original Foreword, the short story "The Night of the Iguana" which was the germ for the play, plus an essay by noted Tennessee Williams scholar, Kenneth Holditch. "I'm tired of conducting services in praise and worship of a senile delinquent-yeah, that's what I said, I shouted All your Western theologies, the whole mythology of them, are based on the concept of God as a senile delinquent and, by God, I will not and cannot continue to conduct services in praise and worship of this...this...this angry, petulant old man." -The Rev. T. Lawrence Shannon, from The Night of the Iguana

拯救与自我救赎。
评分就像他的大部分戏剧一样，关于凡夫俗子饱受的精神折磨。所有角色都很脆弱，但女画家和她的诗人外祖父如同圣人一样的存在。也许田纳西认为只有艺术才能在精神层面上拯救人类而不是上帝。
评分In MichaelBillington's word, "a languorous hymn to human endurance". 德国一家人出现和消失地毫无必要，猎蜥之夜的那头大蜥蜴和垂死的诗人终获解放的对比也过于直白了。
