About Laura in The Glass Menagerie

Laura Wingfield is a woman from the play The Glass Menagerie which is written by Tennessee Williams. Laura is a very unusual type of person. She seems to be in her our little world which she is quite content with. The main characteristic of Laura would be that she is really shy.  I think that her shyness affects her daily life. When she went to business school she could not even stay because it made her sick so she never went back. When Tom her bother invites Jim O’Conner to dinner at their home she would not even open the door to let them in the house.  I believe that Laura is also type of person that is always scared about something. Once she stopped going to school, she did not tell her mother and instead went out all day visiting different places. She did this because she did not what to see her mother’s reaction. While she was in high school, she wanted Jim to sign her program, but never did because of his friends. Laura would not go up to him since she is scared of rejection and judgment. This is only about two main things about Laura, there are so much more.
