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.
