The Glass Menagerie

This week in Professor Sweeney's English class we are reading and watch the Glass Menagerie. The book and movie are narrated by Tom Wingfield. Tom is a character in the book, which takes place in St. Louis in 1937. He is an aspiring poet who works in a shoe warehouse to support his mother, Amanda, and sister, Laura. Mr. Wingfield, Tom and Laura’s father, ran off years ago and has not been heard from since, except for one postcard.
