Williams's The Glass Menagerie. I am interested in analyzing the
changes that happen in Laura. The analysis will show Laura's
relationship with the other characters and the influences of the
other characters on Laura's changes. Thus, in doing the
analysis, I use the theory of characterization and conflict.
Laura, is a very shy girl who chooses to escape from reality to
her own world of glass menageries. She is facing the failure of
fulfilling her mother's ambition for her and also the failure of
keeping the family together, which leads her to escape from the
failures. Laura, then, meets Jim who is able to influence her to
be more confident with herself. Laura is being influenced by the
other characters, Amanda, Tom and Jim in different ways.
