具體描述
Thomas Lanier "Tennessee" Williams III (March 26, 1911 – February 25, 1983) was an American playwright. Along with Eugene O'Neill and Arthur Miller, he is considered among the three foremost playwrights of 20th-century American drama.
After years of obscurity, he became suddenly famous with The Glass Menagerie (1944), a play that closely reflected his own unhappy family background. This heralded a string of successes, including A Streetcar Named Desire (1947), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), and Sweet Bird of Youth (1959). His later work attempted a new style that did not appeal to audiences, and alcohol and drug dependence further inhibited his creative output. His drama A Streetcar Named Desire is often numbered on short lists of the finest American plays of the 20th century alongside Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. Much of Williams' most acclaimed work was adapted for the cinema. He also wrote short stories, poetry, essays and a volume of memoirs. In 1979, four years before his death, Williams was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame.
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.
用戶評價
這三天斷斷續續把這本看完。大師，您的人生確實是辛酸。讀戲劇是從王爾德開始的，後來發現瞭田納西。田老有蠻多部戲劇的，我目前買瞭2部。這本玻璃動物園是由通過作者在St. Louis時候的日子的生活改編成的戲劇。雖說整個篇幅沒有任何一個細節然我有想落淚的衝動，但是田納西曾經說過:"The saddest play I ever written. It's full of pain. It's painful for me to see it."劇中人物都在逃避著各自麵對著他們的殘酷的現實，隻是逃避，沒有對之做法抗。所以為什麼田納西會說這樣的話可想而知。
評分 評分##"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."
評分##在此劇中，所有人都在用自己的方式逃避現實。在這部關於迴憶的劇中所有的希望都會落空。Tom他自顧不暇，身為詩人卻在工廠工作，每晚通過看電影獲取“冒險經曆”。母親對他有超齣他願望和能力的期盼，而他幫不瞭妹妹，幫不瞭自己，最後隻能齣走。看到這隻想大哭一場。
評分##(1944) R3 You manufacture illusions.
