I most identify with Tom in "The Glass Menagerie." He feels trapped at home by his controlling mother who often tries to live her life through her children. Tom would rather be off chasing his dream of being a playwright, which his mother does not approve, but he feels he must stay because of his responsibility of his younger sister. I feel his pain completely. I am the oldest of 6 children and have the responsibility of watching over them, taking care of them, and making sure they grow up properly which is alot to handle. My mom is very controlling, trying to dictate every part of my life. She often forces us to do stuff we are not happy with and tries to live through us. She lives in the past alot as well. Being in my house makes me feel suffocated and I often try to find any outside activity that can keep me out of the house for as long as possible. I would rather be in L.A. somewhere chasing my dream of becoming a succesful actress but my mom does not approve of nor does she support my career choice. This is why I relate to Tom in such a big way.
I least identify with Laura. She is so shy and introverted which is the exact opposite is me. Although we both are self-concious about quite a few things, I am very loud, random, and not afraid to go out and make friends easily. I also have no problem at all with guys so I have no fears that I will be married someday.
I don't feel that I identify with any of the characters in reality and I feel I am most opposite of the mother who always was trying to control everything whereas I am very easy going and nothing really bothers me.
I equally identify with Laura and The Mom.I can identify with Laura baceuse I can be insecure about myself or the things I do sometime but it doesnt handicap me as much as it does Laura. As for being like the mom sometimes I can be overbearing, I try to convince and make people do what I think will be right for their future no matter if im nice about it or blunt.
I least identify with Tom because if I dont like how a situation is going in my life I try to change it and make the right accomodations for it, I don't just deal with it until it will eventually make me run away.
I identified myself more with the character Tom. He feels a lot of pressure with having to take care of his sister and his mother. His mother is constantly on his case abotu finding a husband for his sister and needing to stay at home all the time. Tom just wanted to live his own life and doesn;t want to deal with things that he is not responsible for.
