| | A Dissertation on Tennessee Williams |
 | | Williams establishes his absent outcasts as the agents of his memory play, as the symbols of other characters' mistakes, and as the cause of their progress through the memory play structure. |
 | | Williams, however, chose a more literal escape--through frequent peregrinations he escaped the notice of his family and friends, an indication that traveling was, for him, escape enough from the painful realization of his difference, sexually, from most people. |
 | | Wingfield, and his abandonment of her, are the acts that force her through Williams's memory play structure, so is Blanche's marriage to Allan Grey, and his abandonment through suicide, the tragic mistake that forces her through that structure. |
