People With Disabilities Amanda And Laura

not specifically dated. What I mean by this, is
even though the play was written in the forties,
today we (people in general), can still relate to
some of the issues in it. Like take for example
the disability issue. Laura was so self conscious
of her disability, but in reality, people did not
really even notice. This is how society in general
treats people with disabilities today - the same
as everyone else. I also liked the development of
Laura's character over the course of the plot. At

Blanche, Mitch, and Stanley. Whether the cruelty
is deliberate or not, it results in the
destruction of others, both physically and
