Annotations
This term paper is intended to elucidate on the topic of “soft people” within Tennessee Williams most important plays, "The Glass Menagerie" and "A Streetcar Named Desire". Why did the theme “soft people” gain such prominence within Williams` work? What parallels can be detected between the author´s life and aspects of his characters? What makes Laura and Tom Wingfield, on the one hand, and Blanche DuBois, on the other hand, belong to this category? What misery do these characters share? What signifies their softness in any individual case, and what determines their fate?
