by Tennessee Williams
This classic American play is about the failure of attainment. The American Dream is a myth for the characters in this play. People fail to attain their dreams for many, many reasons. This play explores several of these reasons. The tragic figure of Laura is perhaps overshadowed by the other hapless figures in the play.
