The Glass Menagerie

Amanda is an interesting character. I do not like really like her because I feel that she lacks many maternal characteristics. I believe that she truly does love both of her children and she's doing all that she knows to help them out and prepare them for their futures. She wants her children to have a better life than she did. However, Amanda is constantly bragging about how many gentleman callers she had and how popular and beautiful she was and is. Newsflash Amanda! You picked the wrong guy and your life is not nearly what you ever imagined it to be. I feel that she just needs to get over herself. At one point in the play, Laura had gotten ready for the dinner with Jim, and Amanda was acting like a six year old wearing her dress up clothes.
