  • Glass Menagerie World Of Illusion
    1,933 words
    The illusion in the play starts in scene even before the stage direction at the beginning one where it is clear that Amanda peruses illusions from the very first moment we meet her. Being a memory play, it is dimly lighted, it is sentimental, it is not realistic page 3. The fact that Tom acts as both narrator and as a character in the play immediately suggests the transitory and illusory nature of memory. Indeed Roger Bill, in his book Tennessee Williams says the play is cradled in the play wrig...

  • Mother And Sister Tells The Audience
    1,626 words
    From the beginning, the figure of the narrator shows that Williams' play will not follow the conventions of realistic theater. The narrator breaks the conceptual 'fourth wall' of naturalistic drama by addressing the audience directly. Tom also tells us that he is going to give the audience truth disguised as illusion, making the audience conscious of the illusory quality of theater. By playing with the theme of memory and its distortions, Williams is free to use music, monologues, and projected ...
