The Glass Menagerie: Nonrealistic

This play is told from the memory of Tom. Memory is nonrealistic because memories can alter through time. The play is nonrealistic in the way time passes. Some days seem to include only a couple lines of dialogue, while others last much longer. I also feel that Tom's movie addiction is nonrealistic. Who goes to the movies every night? I honestly don't think that's possible. With his small salary that needs to support three people, I don't understand why he wastes his money away drinking and watching movies. And he does it all just so he can have some more adventure in his life.
