具體描述
A sizzling drama of desire, avarice and deception set in the American Deep South, Tennessee Williams's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is publish ed in Penguin Modern Classics.'Big Daddy' Pollitt, the richest cotton planter in the Mississippi Delta, is about to celebrate his sixty-fifth birthday. His two sons have returned home for the occasion: Gooper, his wife and children, Brick, an ageing football hero who has turned to drink, and his feisty wife Maggie. As the hot summer evening unfolds, the veneer of happy family life and Southern gentility gradually slips away as unpleasant truths emerge and greed, lies, jealousy and suppressed sexuality threaten to reach boiling point. Made into a film starring Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is a masterly portrayal of family tensions and individuals trapped in prisons of their own making.

##就是這一本把，問Vojta藉的，每天早上翻幾頁也翻瞭半個月。每個人都是熱鐵皮上的貓把。Big mama,Big daddy,magrite,brick,~~還有那種在燙腳鐵皮上的關係。Brick和Magrite,Big mama和Big daddy這種關係都是悲劇把。愛情，親情。
##些許情緒化 沒戳中我 反而印象深刻的是 Tiffany glass

##感覺ACT III 是敗筆，前兩幕看的很爽
##已購# "Mendacity is a system that we live in. Liquor is one way out and death is the other." 兩個版本的結局我都挺喜歡的，田納西原版的結尾Brick的反問有一種很無奈的悲傷，可能觀眾更多的是同情Brick；百老匯版的結尾是Maggie走投無路的哀求，就像a cat on a hot tin roof，就像田納西自己記錄的導演Kazan提的建議"...the character of Margaret...should be, if possible, more clearly sympathetic to an audience."田納西真的很會寫傢庭成員之間的緊張和矛盾關係，個人覺得比奧尼爾要好很多。
##想要瞭解美國南部口音，究竟是多麼粗暴的魅力，就在這裏瞭。
##寫的最傳神的並非美麗動人的貓女maggie也不是性嚮變幻莫測的英俊球星Brick，而是練達人生又對人生無可奈何的Big parents.
