More about Laura from The Glass Menagerie

. Laura is not a very social person. All she does is stay at home and clean and cares for her glass collection. She keeps to herself pretty much all the time. I think that she is not social because of her legs and the way she walks. She does not want other people the look at her different. Her family looks at her as the person she really is. When Jim is at her house, he asked her what she has been doing since high school and she just said caring for her glass ornaments. Laura portrays that she is very fragile and innocent. I believe that she has her ornaments because they are fragile like she is. I also believe that she is in that state of being fragile because of her leg condition.  When Jim came over and had dinner with her family, she talked to him very softly and scared like because of her thinking she is so fragile but I think that she can overcome this just like Jim said in the play. Laura is actually a very strong woman. A woman that can walk all day outside in cold weather just so she will not upset her mother is strong. I also think that a woman that can deal with having a leg condition all her life and walk around all day is also very strong. While she was going to high school, I'm sure other student made fun of her legs and that take a strong person to just ignore that.
