What are seven arguements and/or topics that could be discussed and researched from the play The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams?It could...

The Glass Menagerie is a largely autobiographical piece.
Williams' own sister, Rose, was declared mentally unstable and underwent a lobotomy.
This is something Williams felt guilty about in his own life.You might consider
analyzing the autobiographical nature of Laura to Williams' sister as well as the
connections between her character in this piece and the similar character in both
Rose Ta too and the short story Portrait of a Girl in
Glass.

Like Tom, Williams was a gay man
struggling to be a writer and to live in a world where homosexuality was frowned upon.
This is a second autobiographical theme that you might want to
examine.

Moving away from the directly autobiographical
elements of the play, there is also a conflict between the past and the present - the
world of the movies and modern life that exists outside of the fire escape and the 
world on the inside where Amanda struggles to hold on to a past, a Southern gentility
that no longer exists. She refuses to engage in the present for, if she does, she will
have to admit that she has lost her youth.

Fragility is
another theme. Laura is fragile like the glass that she plays with. In what way does
Laura reflect her own fears and desires through her glass. She is "broken" (her limp)
and her unicorn becomes broken. There is a parallel between the uniqueness and of the
unicorn, which becomes "normal" and Laura's own
uniqueness.

Those are a few ideas to get you
started!
