Library's collection Library's IT development CancelTennessee Williams is a playwright who always writes something that
based on his own'life. One of his works is Suddenly Last Summer, this play talks
about Sebastian, a character who comes up from the story of two people: his
mother, Mrs. Venable, and his cousin, Catharine. However, these two people tell
completely different stories. The story about Sebastian that was told by Mrs.
Venable has a different version from Catharine's version. In this case I want to
reconstruct the truth about Sebastian, so actually what kind of a man he is, and
also who actually tells the true story about Sebastian. In order to do this, I use the
theory of psychoanalysis to find out the truth about Sebastian. In doing my
analysis, first I will see the story about Sebastian from Mrs. Venable's and
Catharine's point of view. Secondly, I will reconstruct the story about Sebastian
based on Mrs. Venable's and Catharine's psychological condition. In this case I
will analyze what factors that influence their versions about Sebastian. At first
Catharine is considered as insane, and Mrs. Venable is considered as sane.
Moreover, in Catharine's psychological condition the truth is all that matter for
Catharine. Since the truth is all that matter for Catharine, then I may conclude
that her version about Sebastian is the true one.
