Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 5.0, Jan Kochanowski University of Humanities and Sciences in Kielce, language: English, abstract: These work is concerned with the depiction of women in Tennessee Williams ́s plays. Victims or manipulative creatures? Shy and innocent or seductive and well aware of their potential? What is the picture of Tennessee Williams’s women? The author has chosen two plays – The Glass Menagerie and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof to help with analysis of this question. Indeed, a pure rhetorical analysis of his work that does not take into consideration the biographical aspects of Williams's characters and therefore cannot demonstrate the fullness of those characters, it also can it expect to accurately determine the message that the playwright sends us through those characters . What is also typical for Williams’s heroines is that they are not able to deal with their past, the problems of their history is growing stronger and is rooted in their everyday life. Consequently, those women of various age are stuck with the life in a state of current crisis. The hopelessness and the mediocrity of the characters in Williams’ The Glass Menagerie is caused by a serious breach between the characters’ feelings and their ability to verbalize the emotions. The women that parade in a pages of this thesis – Laura, Amanda, Maggie and even Big Mamma and Mae are lacking in almost physical, tangible way something very important – freedom of emotions. Modern woman – an icon which presents self-made woman, are well aware of her targets, beautiful, treating her body as a medium to promote herself. Not so much changed in comparison with Tennessee Williams females. Tennessee Williams women are so strikingly up-to-date with a modern woman. They are left prostrate in their womanhood, unsatisfied needs and desires. They keep on going despite their failures; they have their goals to achieve and ways to do so.

This book is the first comprehensive study of the reception of Tennessee Williams in China, from rejection and/or misgivings to cautious curiosity and to full-throated acceptance, in the context of profound changes in China’s socioeconomic and cultural life and mores since the end of the Cultural Revolution. It fills a conspicuous gap in scholarship in the reception of one of the greatest American playwrights and joins book-length studies of Chinese reception of Shakespeare, Ibsen, O’Neill, Brecht, and other important Western playwrights whose works have been eagerly embraced and appropriated and have had catalytic impact on modern Chinese cultural life.

Tennessee Williams' 1944 play The Glass Menagerie centers around a family of three, Tom, Laura, and Amanda Wingfield, exploring what it means to share a household with people whose individual psychological eccentricities threaten to overwhelm the whole. Told retroactively in the format of a memory play, the protagonist, Tom, an aspiring poet by night and warehouse worker by night, introduces the audience to the conditions which led him to abandon his family in pursuit of his independence. This informative edition explores the themes of family dysfunction in Tennessee Williams's The Glass Menagerie, providing readers with a critical look at the intersection of literature and sociology. The book includes an examination of Williams' life and influences and takes a hard look at key ideas related to the play, such as the role of guilt in family relationships and the breakdown of the American dream. Readers are also offered contemporary perspectives on family dysfunction through the discussion of toxic or overbearing parents and the effects of alcoholism on families.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2014 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NONFICTION The definitive biography of America's most impassioned and lyrical twentieth-century playwright from acclaimed theatre critic John Lahr 'A masterpiece about a genius' Helen Mirren 'Riveting ... masterful' Sunday Times, Books of the Year On 31 March 1945, at The Playhouse Theatre on Forty-Eight Street the curtain rose on the opening night of The Glass Menagerie. Tennessee Williams, the show's thirty-four-year-old playwright, sat hunched in an aisle seat, looking, according to one paper, 'like a farm boy in his Sunday best'. The Broadway premiere, which had been heading for disaster, closed to an astonishing twenty-four curtain calls and became an instant sell-out. Beloved by an American public, Tennessee Williams's work – blood hot and personal – pioneered, as Arthur Miller declared, 'a revolution' in American theatre. Tracing Williams's turbulent moral and psychological shifts, acclaimed theatre critic John Lahr sheds new light on the man and his work, as well as the America his plays helped to define. Williams created characters so large that they have become part of American folklore: Blanche, Stanley, Big Daddy, Brick, Amanda and Laura transcend their stories, haunting us with their fierce, flawed lives. Similarly, Williams himself swung high and low in his single-minded pursuit of greatness. Lahr shows how Williams's late-blooming homosexual rebellion, his struggle against madness, his grief-struck relationships with his combustible father, prim and pious mother and 'mad' sister Rose, victim to one of the first lobotomies in America, became central themes in his drama. Including Williams's poems, stories, journals and private correspondence in his discussion of the work – posthumously Williams has been regarded as one of the best letter writers of his day – Lahr delivers an astoundingly sensitive and lively reassessment of one of America's greatest dramatists. Tennessee Williams: Mad Pilgrimage of the Flesh is the long-awaited, definitive life and a masterpiece of the biographer's art.
