        <description><![CDATA[I would suggest that the paralysis in the play is definitely broken with the desertion of Tom.  After Tom leaves, Amanda and Laura will have to break free from the strict conformity that has defined their lives up to now.  Tom, the only breadwinner, is gone.  I'm sure if Williams wrote it, Amanda would reflect that her son was just like his father, a man who fell in love with long distance.Inevitably, Laura will change, she is already...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Water's characteristics are that it is fluid, ever changing its shape to fit the path it is given, and it is a source of life.  As carbon based organisms, we must have water to live.  This story is a story of family and, as such, water is a suitable symbolic image for that theme.  Family is our source of life, and it remains with us and as a part of us throughout our life.  Family is also fluid, changing because of births and deaths, and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It's certainly easier to point out their differences, as the two characters are radically dissimilar.  However, I would say that one trait the two women definitely share is their ability to extract themselves from situtations.  Lulu leaves crazy Moses after the birth of Gerry.  Marie cooks up the elaborate story about the marks of the cross appearing on her hand after she's stabbed by a fork.  The story lets her escape the convent.While...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[An interesting question. Within the play, I'd have to say no, no suitable way of breaking free is shown. All the actions taken—denial of reality, working, retreat into nostalgia, trying to get Laura a boyfriend, etc.—either reinforce the paralysis, cause it in the first place, or fail to really create an escape. Tom's final speech describes a physical leave taking, but he's still clearly anchored in that apartment, as his final paragraph...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It seems like Nector does a lot of apologizing in this story.

But as far as political situations go, Nector is chairman of the tribal council, and signed the order that decreed Henry Lamartine a squatter and evicted Lulu and her boys from that land.

Is that what you are looking for?]]></description>
