yukti_k 's review for:
The Rose Tattoo
by Tennessee Williams
Williams plays always have a lot simmering under the surface. He paints a vivid picture of the surroundings and the people. This specific play also had a lot of humor and a happy ending unlike everything else I have read by him, which albeit isn't a lot. Serafina and Rosa's relationship is what sold this play to me. It is quite intense with Serafina clutching tightly to her daughter and Rosa rebelling. However, for the first time, we see the mother as the weak one and the daughter as the cruel and mean one. It made me cringe a few times when I would read the things she would say to her mother. Additionally, Alvaro is such a character. He is basically a bumbling fool who is perfect for Serafina's uncaring, oblivious and somewhat diva-ish character. Overall, I am still trying to process some of the core ideas hiding underneath regarding Williams' commentary on infidelity and the significance of the rose tattoo. But that's the best way to end a piece of art...with unanswered thought-provoking questions!
