Psychological Behaviours of the Characters in Tennessee William’s The Glass Menagerie
Abstract
This paper examines Laura Wingfield’s (and the other characters’) motivations, fears, and hopes in The Glass Menagerie. The inferiority complex of Laura Wingfield in Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie is the subject of the research. The research examines the causes and consequences of her inferiority complex from a psychological standpoint. It examines how Laura’s lack of self-assurance, self-consciousness, fear of shame, and scrutiny have exacerbated her social anxiety and caused her to feel inferior.
