Tenesee Williams Tennessee Williams If you have ever witnessed the work of Tennessee Williams on stage or at the theatre you might wonder “what kind of individual could come up with this stuff' It seems too familiar to him, almost as if he in fact lived through it.” Productions such as “The Glass Menagerie” which shows a very dysfunctional family make you wonder if Mr. Williams had just a little bit of insight on the matter. The problems that went on in his household could have in fact been a huge factor in his theatre success and the cause of his mental disturbances. In the following paragraphs I will discuss Mr. Williams family life, his love life and his famous awards and productions. Tennessee Williams was born Thomas Lanier Williams on March 26, 1911 in Columbus, Mississippi. He was a middle child of three children and was often subject to his parents frequent arguments (Williams 10). His father was a shoe salesman and his mother was the daughter of a minister. People believe that Tennessee used his own relationship between his mother as inspiration for the play. His mother allowed a lobotomy to be done on Tennessee’s sister, Rose, which greatly disturbed Williams williams, life, very, plays, mother, tennessee, merlot, menagerie, glass, family, wonder, won, williams’, two, theatre, smith, sister, short, rader, pulitzer, productions, prizes, play, own, over, mr, might, love, lived, just, guy, fact, ever, cause, autobiography
