Thomas Lanier "Tennessee" Williams III (March 26, 1911 – February 25, 1983) was an American playwright. Along with Eugene O'Neill and Arthur Miller, he is considered among the three foremost playwrights of 20th-century American drama.

After years of obscurity, he became suddenly famous with The Glass Menagerie (1944), a play that closely reflected his own unhappy family background. This heralded a string of successes, including A Streetcar Named Desire (1947), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), and Sweet Bird of Youth (1959). His later work attempted a new style that did not appeal to audiences, and alcohol and drug dependence further inhibited his creative output. His drama A Streetcar Named Desire is often numbered on short lists of the finest American plays of the 20th century alongside Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. Much of Williams' most acclaimed work was adapted for the cinema. He also wrote short stories, poetry, essays and a volume of memoirs. In 1979, four years before his death, Williams was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame.

Abandoned by her husband, Amanda Wingfield comforts herself with recollections of her earlier, more gracious life in Blue Mountain when she was pursued by 'gentleman callers'. Her son Tom, a poet with a job in a warehouse, longs for adventure and escape from his mother's suffocating embrace, while Laura, her shy crippled daughter, has her glass menagerie and her memories. Amanda is desperate to find her daughter a husband, but when the long-awaited gentleman caller does arrive, Laura's romantic illusions are crushed.

(1944) R3 You manufacture illusions.

评分

再也回不去的南方种植园、成群的黑奴和老派的作风;看电影作为逃避现实的手段;蜡烛和现代照明的不同象征;玻璃的象征贯穿始终,从或透明或模糊的布景,到女儿的饰品,再到结尾都市的街边橱窗;母亲从一开始讳言女儿的跛足,到幻灭后脱口而出,如弗洛伊德式的禁忌:打破禁忌的欲望早已暗藏于潜意识中。

评分

第二次读。记忆剧,回忆中的音乐,浓缩的象征,对场面调度的重视,读剧本画面感非常强,呼之欲出。真实的苦痛,三个人各自的逃避,黄水仙,蓝玫瑰,鞋盒上的诗。最后的独白令人心碎。吹灭蜡烛吧,劳拉,然后再见了。

评分

这本描写的家庭关系要比A Streetcar Named Desire要让我痛苦,因为Amanda对儿子女儿的束缚和期望让人窒息,三人都在逃避现实,互相折磨,这种家庭关系要比Blanche的崩溃更有实感。而且Jim对自卑敏感的Laura的温柔和善解人意之后在对其的打击真是……令人绝望,不知道Laura最后会怎样;还有Tom那句:People go to the movies instead of moving. 最后Tom还是选择跟父亲一样了啊
