Madness and Identity Crisis in Tennessee Williams? The Glass Menagerie and A Streetcar Named Desire

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The personal crisis of Tennessee Williams' characters is usually interpreted as his expression of guilt towards mentally ill sister Rose. However this parallel to his life leaves the cause of the crisis behind. Identity crisis of his characters starts with trauma continues with self-separation and negative behaviour. This 'pain cycle' suggests the inability to face the facts of the real world. The characters are powerless, incapable to confront reality and they rather run away from it. They create unreal distant self that results in the conflict between the real and fictional 'I'. Escapism is refusing to accept one's essential powerlessness, the result of the crisis but also an option, openness to change of the self. Emotionally unbalanced characters signify not only Williams' own identity crisis but also his nostalgia for the past as conflict with present.
