In the book Williams has a lot of stage directions that set the scene of the play. He describes the Wingfield apartment by saying it's a small unit in a crowded urban area. outside the apartment there's  a fire escape and that fire escape is where Tom goes to smoke. He smoke a lot and drinks a lot in the play to escape his nagging mother telling him what to do. When I saw the play it made the mother seem even more annoying than in the book. Mainly because of her annoying voice and how she would consistently speak and not give anyone a time to speak. It also seems as if she makes everything about herself. Like how she dresses up for Lauras occasion. In the book and play you can both see and or read about the stage directions and see the setup in the back of the book. In the Wingfield apartment living room and dining room.This is where all of the play is performed. There is a large photograph painting of the family's absent father on the wall. What was really interesting was in the movie how the mother dress herself and Laura for the dinner with the caller. I felt like the mother over did it for the occasion too. Also when Mrs wingfield found out that Jim had a girlfriend she looked broken, broken more than Laura, yet again making everything about herself, and when he's the leaves the house in the book Laura gives him the horn but when he leaves in the movie he got the full horse. I . didn't like how in the movie they took away the monologue from term that was in the book. This monologue was important because it gives you a lot of background information of what was going on but in the play is just Tom walking around and seeing like a ghost finger of his imagination eating dinner. I didn't really know what was going on until the end when he had came back. The lighting and the actors in the movie was very well presented. I could tell that there was lots of detail in the characters in the movie. Like small things of Laura taking a tiny piece of gum from Jim or like how Amanda talked Jim to death as soon as he walked in the room.

Amanda is Tom’s older sister. But most people thought Tom was the oldest because of his maturity, he's the only one with a job, and paying the bills. Without him the family is Going to suffer because Laura and Amanda is unemployed and the father of the house had left. Tom doesn't like his position. He wants to be free and discover the world and take risk but he can't because his mom and family is holding him back. He basically took his father spot in the family. It's his father's fault why he couldn't do what he wants. I believe tom hates his father but doesn't really show it in the play. When he leaves and says he's going to the movies, I think he lies and goes to the club to get drunk and have a good time and release stress from his family and the lost of his father. So Tom is stress and use the fire escape to smoke cigarettes to relieve his stress. Laura has a bad leg, on which she has to wear a brace, and walks with a limp. Twenty-three years old and painfully shy, she has largely withdrawn from the outside world and devotes herself to old records and her collection of glass figurines. She has problems and can't find a husband. So Tom tried to put her on with a Gentleman caller. That later backfires and leaves Laura sad. Tom gets in a fight with his mom once again at the end of the play and finally leaves because she tells him. I believe tom is going to be happy with his new like and have to not be responsible for others. So that is how he Changed, from being a family man to being a lonely man who does his own thing. Even if tom doesn't succeed he should be happy with the simple fact that he tried.

In the story Amanda is very controlling she always want to know where Tom is going and what he is doing. She says” I want to know where you're going” and “ I don’t believe that lie” like if Tom is lying after he said he’s been going to the movies. Then she says “ you're going to the movies to much”. This shows Amanda’s personality. She wants to be involved in everything. She told Tom to drink his coffee before it gets cold and nags at him. Tom is a grown man who should be able to do what he wants without his mom asking him where he is going.

Tom is a man who is stressed out. He works at day and at night comes home to a nagging Mom. Then goes to work again. I could see why hes fed up with this life and his mom bothering him all the time. I know he was mad with his mom because when he said he was going to “ the opium den, yes mother the opium dens, dens of vice and criminals’ hangouts, I carry a tommy-gun in a violin case. They call me killer, killer wingfield” he knew that if he had said this it would piss her off and did it anyway so they end up getting into a fight.

Laura is the sister of Tom and the daughter of Amanda. She stop going to school and lied to her mom by acting like she was going to school but actually going to the park everyday. She doesn’t work and is trying to live her life by depending on a husband to take her away and take care of her mom. I believe she knows her family is disfunctional because when Tom and their mom got into a fight she went to Tom the next day and said ”please make up with her Tom so she can talk to you again”. And when he came home drunk. She tried to control him so that he wouldn’t wake their mom up and start augment.
