Nerver_Ending_Story_Vs_Glass_Menagerie

Nerver Ending Story Vs Glass Menagerie The Glass Menagerie By Tennessee Williams is centered on a dream of escape, much like the song, Never Ending Story by New Found Glory. The song most relates to Tom in the play. Tom is, by far, the biggest dreamer. The song is all about dreaming, with lyrics like “Reach the stars and fly a fantasy.” Tom dreams of leaving and ‘flying his fantasy.’ In the play, Tom says, as he is dreaming, of leaving the “…over crowded urban centers of lower class population.” Tom really dreams of leaving someday much like his father had. Tom expresses this when he tells Amanda, “…Mother, I’d be where [the father] is!” Tom dreams of leaving so desperately that he “…paid his [Merchant Marine] dues, this month instead of the light bill.” Tom wants to get away so desperately that he is willing to hurt the rest of his family, by taking money that they had earned, not done with it what he was supposed to, and using it just to fulfill his dreams of escaping. Tom is ready to get out, be his own person, hence the fact that he took the money to pay the tom, song, play, leaving, escape, dreams, dreaming, says, never, just, glass, transparent, realities, ready, own, much, movies, mother, money, find, fact, escaping, desperately, amanda, flying, tired, retires, paid, over, mother, written, work, willing, williams
