		Probably the most prominent is that of the glass menagerie itself; it symbolizes Laura's fragility and delicacy, qualities that contrast with the bleak setting.
		The Glass Menagerie was parodied by Christopher Durang in a short one-act entitled For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls, in which Laura is replaced by a wimpy hypochondriac son named Lawrence, and the "gentleman caller" becomes a butch female factory worker with a hearing problem named Ginny.
		The Glass Menagerie was first produced by Eddie Dowling and Louis J. Singer at the Civic Theatre in Chicago, Ill., on December 26th, 1944.

		Between the layers of glass is a 3.5-foot wide cavity that, along with an upper-level plenum, provides a place for heat to gather in the winter or exhaust it in the summer.
		The glass dome sits on a titanium ring that’s lifted off the ground by 32 stainless steel columns, which Blandini calls a “dematerialized support system.” Titanium’s reaction to heat and cold is similar to that of glass and, unlike steel, will allow the glass to expand and contract freely.

	Glass Menagerie Essay
		In The Glass Menagerie, by Tennessee Williams, the glass menagerie is a clear and powerful metaphor for each of the four characters, Tom, Laura, Amanda, and the Gentleman Caller.
		When he accidentally breaks one of Laura’s glass animals, and she begins to cry, he shows no real outward emotion, but on the inside, he appears to be genuinely sorry, but knows that he cannot help his poor sister, because nothing can help her recover from her illness anymore.
		Tom is like the glass collection in that he is also readily breakable, and in the end, he begins to crack and break apart, by the pressures and demands that his mother exerts upon him.

		Glass is transparent, but, when light is shined upon it correctly, it refracts an entire rainbow of colors.

		The landing and the stairs descending from the fire escape are visible to the audience and the interior of the ground floor apartment is visible through a transparent curtain that acts as a fourth wall to the room.
		The room closest to the audience is the living room with a fold-out couch, an old fashion whatnot with a collection of tiny glass animals, and an enlarged picture of a smiling man in a World War I doughboy hat.
		It is Laura's music and plays clearest when she, or the fragility of glass, which is her image, is the play's focus.

		He’d resisted it for years for financial reasons—today the glass goes for about $200 a square foot; even back then, a typical setup could run into the thousands of dollars after installation—but Kearney had a change of heart, understandably, when a masked thief put a gun to the head of his 12-year-old daughter.
		Anna wanted the glass installed, but her husband was stubborn in his disdain for it.
		In stores such as his, where the main inventory is behind glass, the clerk performs like a caged servant, shuffling off after liquor and candy at the customer’s bidding, and he’s inevitably treated as such.

	The Glass Menagerie
		Williams, through his remarkable use of symbols, is able to effectively express the theme of "The Glass Menagerie"; that of hopeful aspirations followed by inevitable disappointment and of having dreams which are destroyed by the harsh realities of the world.
		The first time the menagerie is mentioned in any detail in a symbolic manner is when Tom and Amanda have a heated argument near the beginning of the play.
		The conversation turns to Laura's glass collection, when she remarks "glass is something you have to take good care of.", again showing her fragility.

	Glass Menagerie PS
		The Glass Menagerie was written in 1944, based on reworked material from one of Williams' short stories, "Portrait of a Girl in Glass," and his screenplay, The Gentleman Caller.
		The Glass Menagerie uses music, screen projections, and lighting effects to create the haunting and dream-like atmosphere appropriate for a "memory play." Like Eugene O'Neill's Emperor Jones and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, Williams' play explores ways of using the stage to depict the interior life and memories of a character.
		In The Glass Menagerie, Williams' skillful use of the narrator and his creation of a dream-like, illusory atmosphere help to create a powerful representation of family, memory, and loss.
