1. imagery means using sensory words and phrases to paint pictures in a reader's mind
so s/he can vividly imagine what is written.
Example : Light, which is used as and image throughout the play, to signify the
character's relationship to each other and the world.
The scene when Laura dances with Jim, and imagery of her disability and his
breaking the unicorn.
2. Similes are indirect comparisons that use the word “like” or “as.” Metaphors are
direct comparisons that state one thing is another.
Example in scene seven of the Glass Menagerie, Jim describes Laura, "They're as
common as weeds, but you, well -you're the Blue Roses!" This metaphor establishes
the connection between Laura and the blue roses byencapsulating the beauty of both
the blue roses and Laura despite their peculiar physical appearance.
3. Tom, though, is a poet, and dreams of running away to a life filled with adventure.
Williams illustrates a life of poverty, boredom and loneliness through the narrator’s
point of view, Tom Wingfield. Luhrmann portrays the 1920s as an era of decayed
social and moral values and uses characters within the film as emblems of various
American social trends and to depict the ultimate result of the corruption of the
American dream. 
4. The Glass Menagerie” relives the horrors of the Great Depression and the effects it
had on many people’s lives. The story is in many ways about the life of Tennessee
Williams himself, as well as a play of fiction that he wrote. However, the story is
based on Tennessee and his family’s struggle to emotionally deal with the harsh
realities that followed the crash of 1929
He says in the beginning, “I give you truth in the pleasant disguise of illusion”. The
characters Tom, Laura, and Amanda are very much like Williams, his sister Rose, and
his mother Edwina. The characters’ lives seem to avoid reality more than facing it.
Each character changed their difficult situations into shadows of truth. This gives us
the image that not one of the characters is capable of living entirely in the present.
Each character retreats into their separate worlds to escape the brutality of life.
5. According to Tom, The Glass Menagerie is a memory play both its style and its
content are shaped and inspired by memory. As Tom himself states clearly, the play's
lack of realism, its high drama, its overblown and too-perfect symbolism, and even its
frequent use of music are all due to its origins in memory.
