        <description><![CDATA[Tom, the narrator of the play, and one of its three main characters, wants to escape from his deeply unsatisfying situation: the life he lives with his overbearing, neurotic mother and his shy, nervous sister. And a big symbol of the play is the fire escape where all the play's entrances and exits are made:

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...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA["Matriarchal" is not a term I would use to describe Amanda in any scene of The Glass Menagerie. She certainly tries to dominate and rule the lives of her children, but she does so with a shrill insecurity that is not characteristic of a true matriarch.
Amanda is a single mother who has been abandoned by her husband and left, in almost poverty, to care for her two grown children. She is then, by default, the primary caregiver for her offspring,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It is quite unlikely that you will find any of the actual images or "screen legends" used in a production of The Glass Menagerie as even the original 1945 Broadway production of the play did not include them.
Tennessee Williams' original idea was:

"The legend or image upon the screen will strengthen the effect of what is merely allusion in the writing and allow the primary point to be made more simply and lightly than if the entire...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In the conclusion of the play, Tom and Amanda have a furious, and final, argument after which Tom storms out of the apartment for the last time. He leaves his family behind in St. Louis to pursue an independent life of his own. There is evidence in Tom's conversation with Jim O'Connor that evening that Tom had formulated a plan to leave anyway, and it later becomes clear that Tom had used the money to pay the electric bill for other...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Tennessee Williams staged his play "The Glass Menagerie" in the year 1944 in Chicago.  The word 'menagerie' means a collection of wild animals kept privately or for the public to  view.
In the play Laura has her own private collection of glass animal dolls and the play is called "The Glass Menagerie" after Laura's collection of glass animal dolls. In Scene 7 Laura shows Jim the Gentleman Caller this  collection and remarks,

        <description><![CDATA[Tom here is indirectly implying that he has never gone back to St. Louis to see his mother and Laura. The best way I can think to explain the particular phrase you quoted is to think about childhood friends; though they may actually live in geopaphical proximity to you, if you haven't seen them in years and years, you are actually more seperate and more distanced from them than any amount of miles could ever cover.
