Full textOur seminar, ‘The city and the urban subject in British and American Literature’, revolved around the problem of cities and urban subjects, considering the relations they have with the metropolis and the way in which the constant flux of cities affects them. The consolidation of the cities created a space for new subjects, and new genres. But there is one element of these cities that caught my attention, and this is a shared element with the countryside, and a reminiscent idea of the early human communities. This is the house.

In this thesis The Glass Menagerie is read in the light of Walter Benjamin’s theory of myth, symbol, allegory and emblem in German Baroque “mourning plays.” In this reading Laura’s favorite glass unicorn changes from a symbol to an allegorical figure and finally to an emblem, thus revealing Tennessee Williams’s moral concerns in the play. At first a symbol of the alienation, hyper-sensitivity and imagination of the Wingfields, especially Laura, the unicorn is broken by the gentleman caller Jim. At this point it takes on an allegorical meaning, that of the transfiguration of its “original” mythic dream world into an icy, lonely, fragmentary wasteland, which demands what Benjamin would call the “melancholy gaze” of Amanda and Laura to drain away its life. In this “frozen moment” at the play’s end the broken glass figurine becomes an emblem, incarnating the heroines’ allegorical insight: they will no longer pursue uniqueness (the original sense of the unicorn) in life but will be content with the “surrounding ruins” (Benjamin) of ordinary life, with a “real horse.” In the play’s closing “mute scene” (Benjamin) with the two tragic heroines, mother and daughter, there is a new (“prophetic”) understanding of the need for universal compassion (a common Williams theme). The hornless unicorn then becomes a Benjaminian emblem as “profane illumination,” a secular solution in a fallen modern world, a world in ruins, devoid of transcendence or God.

Literature stirs our personal responses with thriving feelings and thoughts when we face its world of fantasy. What it provides us is an opportunity to meet other people, to know other different points of view, ideas and eventually to know ourselves better. When it comes to language learning, it enhances our interests in the learning activities and deepens our comprehension of the cultures at home or abroad. Now that drama is a genre of literature, it achieves the same goals as the other genres do. Drama would be accessed in two ways: going to the theater or reading the plays. Though plays are created to be presented on stage, several practical reasons might prevent us from going to the theater. For the students in Taiwan who are interested in Western drama, they would come across a problem: they have slim chance to find English plays brought onto the stage. Some amateur groups or people might put them on the stage for contests, like the English drama contests on campus. Even though professional groups try their hand on them, they usually presents them at the cost of losing the subtle part of language using in the plays: they translate them into Chinese in advance. Besides, both economic pressure and limit time prevent students from going to the theater. The alternative and convenient way to solve this problem is to read the plays. However, reading plays is not the second choice when going to the theater is not available. Reading them has several advantages. Before a play is put on stage, all actors or actresses read beforehand to understand the psychological conditions of the characters, the interaction among the characters and how they move on stage. With proper strategies and methods, students still can enjoy the wonderland of drama without going to the theater. In this research, I will use Tennessee Williams’s The Glass Menagerie as an example to guide the students in Taiwan to enter the amazing world of drama. First, they learn some information about the playwright, realize the relationship between his experience of growing up and the play, and furthermore they equip themselves with the knowledge of the development of drama and the basic elements. Then they start to analyze The Glass Menagerie. During the process, I hope the students can learn not only how to handle an English play, but also appreciate the beauty of English and know how to use English properly. In addition, they may learn to express their reactions and feelings in English. In the process, the movie edition of The Glass Menagerie is used to serve three functions: First, the students roughly understand the effects the play can achieve when it is put on stage. Secondly, they realize drama’s relationship to the movies. Thirdly, after painstakingly studying a play, they would apply the experiences to other related dramatic formats, like movies or drama on TV, and then they can gain more from watching them.

As an actor, every performance is like a presentation of my past acting history. For instance, being Tom in “The Glass Menagerie” last November presented not only the practices and rehearsals in past 3 months on this play, but also the result of my performance learning process since my first touch in acting. All of these experiences nurture me in breathing, acting, feeling and reacting when I step on the stage. Therefore, this thesis summarizes the course of my acting and learning experience in the graduate school of TNUA and the practice notes during “The Glass Menagerie”. In addition, it also indicates how I could present the face of the character “Tom” by exploring and learning the art of Acting.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the object relations of the characters of The Glass Menagerie, and to explore the complexity of feelings of all the characters to know how the relations influence the main characters’ family from the perspective of object relations theory. This study will analyze the characters’ behaviors and their dialogues from each character’s viewpoints, and contrast the similarities and differences between characters’ inner worlds and outer world of reality. This study explores the characters’ object relations by Melanie Klein’s and Donald W. Winnicott's theories, and refers to Williams' memoirs, letters and essays as supplementary materials. The Glass Menagerie is a memory play, and the character Tom is the narrator who leads the audience into his memories. Therefore, this study will first analyze Tom’s object relations to know the causes and effects of Tom’s runaway, then analyze his mother Amanda, sister Laura, and colleague Jim’s object relations.

Tennessee Williams, one of the greatest American dramatists, is highly praised for his exquisite female characterization. While generally occupying a main position, Williams’ women are also overloaded with images and significances that reflect not only critics’ ideology but the author’s own propensity. The aim of the thesis is to explore the contradictory images of female characters through the lens of masquerades in Williams’ three plays, The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Summer and Smoke. By focusing on the multiple masquerades of sexuality, language, imagery, and social regulations, the thesis will also have a look at the author’s homosexual world and scrutinize his identification with and prejudice against women. Besides, the “authenticity” of masculinity and femininity will be problematized, and the paradox of Williams’ South will be rediscovered. This way, masculinity and femininity are to be endowed with more possibility and fluidity, and the significance of artifice in Williams’ plays is to be highlighted. By reexamining the multiple masquerades in the three plays, the thesis will delve into Williams’ world of aggrandizement and theatricalization as well as into his view of women and sexuality.

This thesis aims to discuss the issue of the female body in Tennessee Williams’s The Glass Menagerie and Mei-yin Liu’s The Train Vagina Is Going/Penetrating Flowers. Admitted his homosexuality, Tennessee Williams’s effeminate characteristic and Mei-yin Liu’s hardy and aggressive personality reveal that such gender identity and personality do not fit in with the traditional social norms which require men should have masculinity and women posses femininity. Due to this difference, they have profound understanding of the problems faced by women with their bodies. In The Glass Menagerie and The Train Vagina Is Going/Penetrating Flowers, playwrights both use a lot of stage directions, visual effects and dramatic techniques to depict the limitation of the female body. Through conversations, it is easy for one to realize the female characters’ attitudes and problems towards their bodies. By the texts of these two plays, character studies, criticisms, interviews and feminism perspective, this thesis will unearth the issue of the female body. This thesis will be divided into an introduction, the ensuring two chapters dealing with the repression and emancipation of the female body and a conclusion. Chapter one focuses on how the female body is repressed. In the beginning of these two plays, female characters face the problems towards their bodies and such problems lead them to be repressed. The repressions of the female body are not only from self also from traditional social and cultural concepts. Such repressions make female characters in these two plays lose their self-esteem and confidence. Chapter two attempts to deal with the process from female characters’ repression to emancipation. Even playwrights present female characters’ oppression, they also indicate a new life for them in the plays. Female characters are trapped by their bodies or the myth of the female body, but when they are aware of their perplexities and have self-awareness, it is the moment that they will break their shells and reach a maturity.

Abstract This thesis is an attempt to make an inquiry into the economical and psychological effects that cause illusion and disillusion of the three protagonists in Tennessee Williams’ works, namely, Tom Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie (1944), Chance Wayne in Sweet Bird of Youth (1959), and Brick in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955). The Glass Menagerie is a memory play set in St. Louis during the Great Depression, and it deals with the relationship among a strong Amanda Wingfield, a crippled daughter, Laura, and an imaginative son, Tom Wingfield. Tom Wingfield desires to have an adventurous life, but he is forced by economical need to work in a warehouse to support his mother and sister. Sweet Bird of Youth begins with the protagonist, Chance Wayne, who returns to St. Cloud as a gigolo to a faded film star Princess Kosmonopolis. However, he was once a fine, handsome young man, but was rejected by Boss Finley to marry his daughter, Heavenly. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof focuses on the chaotic relationship among Big Daddy, Big Mama, and their two sons and two daughters-in-law. Brick is the younger son, who turns from football hero to an alcoholic, because his wife has once seduced his friend and later his friend committed suicide. Tennessee Williams’ strength lies in his ability to create his characters interesting and realistic. Also, he often finishes his play with a humanistic touch to uphold the human dignity. In extreme predicaments, Tom, Chance, and Brick are forced to abandon their illusions. They still struggle to achieve more than their life can offer. However, at the end, Tom left home to be a merchant marine, but his thought never leaves the two women he loves. Chance left Princess and he chooses to stay in St. Cloud to face the callous world and to be near Heavenly. Brick gives up drinking, and his wife is trying to seduce him in the hope of producing an heir for Brick and for Big Daddy’s fortune. I used the economical and psychological approaches to analyze this play. Richard Schmitt’s Introduction to Marx and Engels: a critical reconstruction (published in 1997) offers helpful economical and psychological information about the society in the 19th and 20th centuries. In psychology, I use Sigmund Freud’s (1856-1939) theory to explain the inner motives of their choices and actions in the plays. His The Interpretation of Dreams (1990) is especially helpful to explain how the unconscious mind influenced by the depressed desires can lead a character to act in a particular way.
