Question: What's Tom first ten sentences in the play "The Glass Menagerie"!?!?

Starting from "this is a memory play" and ending about 5 sentences past where he talk about the 5th characterWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The play is memory!.

Being a memory play, it is dimly lighted, it is sentimental, it is not realistic!.

In memory everything seems to happen to music!. That explains the fiddle in the wings!.

I am the narrator of the play, and also a character in it!. The other characters are my mother Amanda, my sister Laura and a gentleman caller who appears in the final scenes!.

He is the most realistic character in the play, being an emissary from a world of reality that we were somehow set apart from!. But since I have a poet's weakness for symbols, I am using this character also as a symbol; he is the long-delayed but always expected something that we live for!. There is a fifth character in the play who doesn't appear except in this larger-than-life-size photograph over the mantel!.

This is our father who left us a long time ago!.He was a telephone man who fell in love with long distances; he gave up his job with the telephone company and skipped the light fantastic out of town!. !. !. !.The last we heard of him was a picture postcard from Mazatlan, on the Pacific coast of Mexico, containing a message of two words -
'Hello - Good-bye!' and no address!.

I think the rest of the play will explain itself !.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
