具体描述
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.

##An emissary from a world of reality that we were somehow set apart from. The long delayed but always expected something that we live for.
##喜欢看大师未完全成熟的剧本,从中能感触到他们真实的呼吸。
##"The apartment faces an alley and is entered by a fire escape, a structure whose name is a touch of accidental poetic truth, for all of these huge buildings are always burning with the slow and implacable fires of human desperation."
##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。
##(1944) R3 You manufacture illusions.
##这本描写的家庭关系要比A Streetcar Named Desire要让我痛苦，因为Amanda对儿子女儿的束缚和期望让人窒息，三人都在逃避现实，互相折磨，这种家庭关系要比Blanche的崩溃更有实感。而且Jim对自卑敏感的Laura的温柔和善解人意之后在对其的打击真是……令人绝望，不知道Laura最后会怎样；还有Tom那句：People go to the movies instead of moving. 最后Tom还是选择跟父亲一样了啊
##喜欢看大师未完全成熟的剧本,从中能感触到他们真实的呼吸。
##简单的故事 有张力的对手戏 对演员来说演起来应该是很爽的吧... 特别想看大佬说对白 看的时候脑子里都是他的声音...其实Laura在现在应该太多太常见了吧! 不过麻麻叫Amanda, 基友叫Jim的设定真的好么 脑洞就是这么被打开的!
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。
